Energy poverty is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, caused by a combination of low-income, high-energy expenses, and poor efficiency of housing, effecting 34 million Europeans (Energy Poverty Advisory Hub).

In the sphere of Fire Safety, there is an opinion that the people living in energy poverty face a greater fire risk and so are exposed to a double penalty.

There is very little research on this topic.

The data regarding the link between fire safety and energy poverty is in development. As a consequence, FEEDS decided to undertake research with associations working in energy poverty.

This research started in April and closed in June 2022 by mail with an online questionnaire. The report explores the answers and proposes actions that could be taken.
