“…Furthermore, a sustainable energy supply must include eco-friendly energy sources, such as environmentally friendly renewable energy sources, which can assist in sustainable energy development (Abdullah-Al-Mahbub et al 2022;Saqib et al 2023). Thus, a sustainable energy supply can be an effective approach to mitigating future climate change (González-Eguino 2015; Papantonis et al 2022). The following eighth hypothesis is developed in light of the reviews above: Hypothesis 8: feasibility of sustainable energy supply (SES) leads to energy poverty alleviation (EPA).…”

The rapid urbanization and industrialization of India have caused a demand-supply gap in the electrical sector, leading to higher electric bills. Lower-income households face the worst energy poverty in the country. Sustainable strategies like corporate social responsibility are the most effective way to combat the energy crisis. This study aims to assess the contribution of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to energy poverty alleviation (EPA) by developing the role of mediating variables such as assessment of renewable energy resource (RER), feasibility of sustainable energy supply (SES), and sustainable energy development (SED). We used hybrid research methodology such as partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the collected data from professionals, economic experts, and directors in the country in 2022. The study proved that CSR directly affects energy poverty alleviation. Besides, the findings suggest RER, SES, and SED significantly lead the energy poverty alleviation. The findings of this study will divert the attention of policymakers, stakeholders, and economists toward the corporate social responsibility to mitigate the energy crisis in Indian context. A mediating role of a renewable energy resource (RER) as a value-added contribution to this study can be strengthened more in future research. Based on the results, the study illustrates that CSR acts as a catalyst to alleviate energy poverty.

“…Among the goals of the Renovation Wave strategy is tackling energy poverty. This is line with the recommendations many researchers have developed during the last years about the strategies and tools to eliminate energy poverty [4], alongside the achievement of environmental goals. Retrofitting residences can help to reduce energy consumption and associated costs, making energy more affordable to vulnerable households.…”

The article investigates the current challenges households face in Greece with regards to the energy performance of their dwellings. We claim that unpacking households’ experiences, practices, and perceptions could contribute to a deeper understanding of the social dynamics related with dwellings’ energy performance; dynamics which are expected to expand in the context of the “green transition.” Understanding these dynamics is also important for developing efficient national policies that respond to households’ needs and problems. Our intention is to identify the potential implications renovations might have for households, including the role of energy retrofitting in addressing or increasing households’ problems to deal with their energy needs and particularly energy poverty.

“…Thus, integrated urban regeneration may favor energy savings that can be achieved both in the urban sector and at the building level [91] (Scheme 4). However, specific and additional public measures and actions are needed in the context of an urban regeneration program to support tenants, to face energy poverty [92], and to mitigate gentrification that may be caused by the expected increase in rents and property values. At the higher policy level, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change suggests urban regeneration to foster the energy renovation of buildings [1], while according to its recent IPCC report, 'deep emissions reductions and integrated adaptation actions are advanced by integrated inclusive land use planning and decision-making ….'…”

Investigating Energy Renovation of Multi-Owner Buildings and Real Estate Market Issues in a Degraded Greek Urban Area

States establish ambitious policies and important measures to achieve targets for the energy upgrade of buildings but although some important barriers prevent their implementation in space, they are rather overlooked by research. In this paper, it is argued that extensive multi-ownership (MO) and weak performance of the real estate market in degraded urban areas impede the mass energy retrofitting of multi-owner buildings (MOBs), which are an important part of the urban building stock A deprived area of central Athens (Greece) that serves as a case study. With a pluridisciplinary approach based on extensive field surveys, cadastral data analysis and cases of energy renovation of buildings through a public–private partnership financing scheme as well as ways to overcome the MO issue were explored, according to the provisions of the Greek legal framework. The integrated urban regeneration approach is promoted as a means to encounter the MO issue and enhance the functioning of the real estate market by the generation of surplus values that will render the energy retrofitting of buildings more attractive to investors and thus achieve the deep renovation of MOBs towards the sustainability of the urban environment. This paper ultimately advocates the integration of energy planning with spatial planning.
