Directory of Energy Poverty Researchers

I am a researcher at EU Horizon funded research project on energy poverty, which has six pilots all over Europe.

I am particularly concerned with the impact of energy policies and energy poverty on the most fragile groups of the population, and my work favours an intersectional approach. In addition, I am interested in the experiences and views of indigenous groups from different regions (mainly Latin America) on environmental and energy issues.

My PhD looks at the impacts of energy poverty on children, and specifically how do children experience energy poverty. I have also worked on energy poverty and gender aspects and I am very interested on vulnerable people facing low carbon transitions, so just/fair transitions.

Kimberley's research explores the relationships between energy poverty (fuel poverty), energy efficiency of housing and buildings, energy needs and uses, and the important interactions of these with health. She has expertise in energy poverty and health research, consumer experiences and impacts of prepay electricity, and summer overheating.

My work focuses on people who live in fuel poverty, the impact that has on their health and wellbing and how organisations and charities provide support for fuel poverty in Britain.
