Academic Paper
This paper examines initiatives that assisted energy poor and energy vulnerable households in Ontario, Canada during 2003–2018 and finds that they largely address short-term needs and focus on the symptoms of energy poverty and vulnerability, rather than on preventative measures.

Academic Paper
This paper analyses the policies that regulated the energy mix in the Polish residential sector between 1990 and 2021 and finds that the lack of identification of the household as a stakeholder for many years led to a failure of decarbonisation and associated issues such as fuel poverty, however, recent policy changes addressing this limitation have resulted in improved outcomes across a range of dimensions including fuel poverty.
