Energy poverty is a complex issue that affects both developing and developed countries, with significant implications for health, education, and the environment. This study examines the various indicators used to measure energy poverty, including single indicators and multidimensional indices, and evaluates their effectiveness in capturing the nuances of energy poverty across different contexts. The analysis highlights the limitations of single indicators in capturing the multidimensional nature of energy poverty and the need for more comprehensive approaches. A framework is proposed for selecting appropriate indicators based on local needs and cultural specificities. The study also explores the impact of energy poverty on quality of life, including health, education, and climate change, and provides insights into current mitigation measures and policy recommendations. The research emphasizes the importance of addressing energy poverty through a holistic approach that considers the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of the issue. The findings suggest that energy poverty is a significant challenge that requires coordinated efforts to ensure universal access to affordable and reliable energy. The study concludes that energy poverty is a multidimensional issue that requires a comprehensive understanding and targeted interventions to address its impact on society.Energy poverty is a complex issue that affects both developing and developed countries, with significant implications for health, education, and the environment.
