Household energy insecurity refers to a household's inability to meet its energy needs. Household energy insecurity is a broad framework that includes a household's inability to afford energy costs as one of several factors in a household's ability to meet energy needs. Household energy insecurity is influenced by both internal and external factors such as energy cost, household income, housing conditions, and personal behavior.[1] The relevance of these factors may vary by geographic region, such as country or community, and the level of development of energy infrastructure.[2] Household energy insecurity is sometimes referred to as fuel poverty or as a form of energy poverty.[3]
