The assessment outlines where households stand in relation to energy poverty and identifies which groups are more likely to be affected. It analyzes the welfare implications of rising energy prices and evaluates the key barriers that prevent households from transitioning to cleaner technologies and sustainable energy use. It also reviews existing measures and proposes mitigation options to protect vulnerable populations.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nRomania Energy Poverty Assessment  \nUnderstanding and Addressing Energy Poverty in Romania:  \nExploring the Roles of Structural and Behavioral Constraints  \nSeptember 2024  \nUnderstanding and Addressing Energy Poverty in Romania:  \nExploring the Roles of Structural and Behavioral Constraints  \nMonica Robayo-Abril, Jonathan Karver, Britta Rude, Ailin Tomio, Alessandro Silvestri, and Kiyomi Cadena  \nPoverty and Equity Global Practice and Mind, Behavior and Development (eMBeD) Unit  \nThe World Bank  \n© 2024 International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW Washington DC 20433 Telephone: 202-473-1000  \n[Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank with external contributions.
