Summary/Abstract: Fuel poverty is defined as a situation in which households are not able to adequately heat their homes or meet other required household energy services at an affordable cost. Indica¬tors from the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) suggest that 9,4% of the European population are unable to keep their homes adequately warm. Fuel poverty appears when a combination of three causes exists; these are low income, high prices of en¬ergy and inappropriate quality of buildings. The latter of this reasons were analysed in the paper and there were some subjective and objective indicators presented.
