| Abstract [eng] |
Energy poverty is a pressing issue affecting a significant number of households in the EU, including Lithuania. While subsidies and immediate relief can provide short-term support, a longterm solution is needed. An analytical approach is used to evaluate the effectiveness of government policies and analyse technical constraints. The review concluded that energy efficiency is mostly missing as a policy instrument and result oriented policy asks to focus on energy efficiency as a measure to reduce energy bills and increase energy self-sufficiency. The study proposes extensions to Lithuanian policy instruments, including a targeted energy efficiency program and a revolving fund to provide low-interest loans for energy efficiency measures. These proposals can have a positive impact on the economy, the environment, and the social well-being of vulnerable households. |
