METHODOLOGY FOR MITIGARING ENERGY POVERTY IN BULGARIA
AND THE EUROPEAN UNION
Summary:
In the mid-2000s, an increasing number of articles began to address the need for developing modern energy services in developing countries. These publications, in addition to analyzing the lack of physical access to energy services and its consequences, also discussed the financial inaccessibility of these services. Researchers assessed various types of energy resources consumed by households across income deciles to highlight income-based disparities. The World Bank raised the issue of financial inaccessibility to energy on an international level, emphasizing its negative effects on people’s health, children’s education, women’s quality of life, and the environment. Energy accessibility was examined within tools aimed at addressing poverty issues, especially among marginalized groups, rural areas, and other underserved communities.

The article is an attempt for scientific justification and analysis, which aim to determine the role of energy policy for the decisions and prospects for development of the energy sector in terms of its influence, benefits and disadvantages. Therefore, its subject is the policy implemented in the energy sector, which is used as a tool to guarantee energy security. Its object is the European Union as a whole and our country - the Republic of Bulgaria – as one of its member states. To achieve these objectives, the authors have made a retrospective analysis of the principles of energy policy analysing in detail the use of the regulatory means, frameworks and mechanisms as instruments of the energy policy of the EU and the Republic of Bulgaria, which aim to guarantee their energy security.
The main focus is on the effect and effectiveness of the use of such tools from the point of view of the sectoral energy policy in terms of their implementation and impact on the current energy policy, the prospects for guaranteeing energy security, and the overall development of the energy sector.
