The Energy Justice framework provides an opportunity to reveal and reduce injustices related unaffordable household energy lack of residential access. However, little consensus exists among academic researchers, practitioners, decision makers on the terminology present conceptualize problems relating inadequate access affordability, with terms including “fuel poverty,” “energy burden,” vulnerab...
