This article, using ERF-LIS harmonized microdata, develops an empirical model to investigate the unexplored extent and fuel poverty explanatory factors in Egypt and Jordan. First, we use the "Low income-High Consumption" indicator to measure the fuel poverty extent. Second, we implement a multivariate statistical approach to untangle the fuel poor ...

The electricity grid in the Netherlands is highly congested and poses a significant challenge due to increasing demand and the transition to sustainable energy sources, which overwhelms the existing infrastructure. To address this issue, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) like Alliander are tasked with managing waiting lists for power connections...
Climate change is happening, and the consequences of it are becoming increasingly visible. Climate goals have been set in the Paris Agreement to stop climate change. The goal in the Netherlands is to reduce emissions in 2030 by 55% and achieve net zero by 2050.
An essential element in achieving these goals is the energy transition. These goals can ...
Loss and Damage (L&D) due to climate change primarily from human activity has become a key focus for this generation. On January 12, 2023, NASA warned that 2022 was the fifth warmest year on record and noted that the trend was alarming. In July 2023, CNN recorded that the first week of July saw the hottest global temperature ever recorded. More rec...
Local energy cooperatives are pivotal in decentralizing and democratizing the energy system. This research aims to provide a roadmap for creating energy cooperatives that address energy poverty in the Netherlands, emphasizing the potential for a just energy transition.
This project bridges the realms of theory and empirical research in energy justi...
The energy transition is a fundamental shift in the world’s energy landscape, aimed at reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to a more sustainable, low-carbon energy system. This transition is closely aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, the landmark international treaty adopted in 2015, which seeks to limit global warming, with an ...
Climate change has devastating effects on society, increasing the risk of natural disasters and associated health issues. These effects are caused by the greenhouse gases emitted by humans. Aligned with the Paris Agreement, the Dutch government aims to achieve a 100% reduction in emissions by 2050, striving for climate neutrality.
Climate justice, a...
This thesis delves into the intricate challenges facing The Netherlands as it aims to fulfil its ambitious CO2 emission reduction goals by means of the Regional Energy Strategy (RES) framework. A significant issue highlighted is the emergence of an unintended wealth gap and energy poverty affecting over 600,000 people, which restricts their involve...

This study examined issues that emerge from Indonesia’s rural electrification (LISDES) program. A qualitative study was used as an approach. Document analysis and semi-structured interviews are the methods selected for data collection. Using energy justice as an analytical framework, three categories of energy injustices were identified in the prog...
