Focus Reports on behavioural effects and distributional impacts

This task focuses on exploring how different socio-economic groups, primarily private households, will be impacted by different technology transitions, in terms of household expenditure on energy for heating, cooling and transportation, and how these impacts are spread across, and within, the Member States and demographic groups. Existing energy poverty focused policies are collected and the policy implications of the SET-Plan to these policies are assessed. More specifically, this task will assess the most important impacts vectors and related pathway metrics. Impact vectors are further used to determine the dimensions across which impacts are disaggregated by societal groups. Tools are downscaled for translating the pathway metrics to variables needed to assess the impacts (from Task 6.3) on individual groups across pathways and member states. The impacts and their distribution are then assessed across the pathways, based on the indicators developed under WP1. Existing energy poverty policies and the implications of the SET-Plan to these policies will be assessed.
