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.

L-invażjoni Russa tal-Ukrajna u s-sanzjonijiet li nħolqu wasslu biex il-prezzijiet tal-enerġija jogħlew. Il-gvernijiet li qed ifittxu li jnaqqsu l-impatti negattivi taż-żidiet fil-prezzijiet fuq id-djar introduċew sussidji fl-enerġija u tnaqqis fil-VAT għall-elettriku, il-gass u l-fjuwil. Filwaqt li dawn il-politiki jistgħu jkunu meħtieġa biex jipproteġu lil dawk li huma l-aktar fil-bżonn, is-sussidju għall-użu tal-enerġija huwa soluzzjoni fit-tul qasir – huwa kumpens temporanju u parzjali li mhux dejjem jilħaq lil dawk li huma l-iktar affettwati. Barra minn hekk, is-sussidju għall-użu tal-enerġija tal-fjuwils fossili jikkonflitta mal-għanijiet tal-UE li jillimita l-emissjonijiet tal-karbonju u jżomm id-dipendenza enerġetika tagħha fuq pajjiżi terzi, bħal Russja.
