Energy poverty looms as cost of living increases: Data behind the difficulties
Rising energy prices are putting more people under increased financial pressure and at greater risk of energy poverty. In this data story, we take a closer look at the data from the fifth round of the Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey to explore the extent of the issue and the threat of energy poverty.

Cambiar el enfoque de los subsidios energéticos a reducir la dependencia energética
La invasión rusa de Ucrania y las sanciones resultantes han provocado un disparo de los precios de la energía. Los gobiernos que buscan aliviar los impactos negativos de los aumentos de precios en los hogares han introducido subvenciones energéticas y reducciones del IVA para electricidad, gas y combustible. Aunque estas políticas pueden ser necesarias para proteger a quienes más lo necesitan, subvencionar el consumo energético es una solución a corto plazo: es una compensación temporal y parcial que no siempre llega a quienes más sufren. A esto se suma que subvencionar el uso de energía de combustibles fósiles entra en conflicto con los objetivos de la UE de limitar las emisiones de carbono y mantiene su dependencia energética de terceros países, como Rusia.
