Abstract

This report is the first of four reporting findings from Phase 2 of a research project carried out by GEER Australia under the Energy Equity Work Program for the Energy Ministers Meeting (formerly the Council of Australian Governments Energy Council). It offers the results of two literature reviews as well as co-design research with key industry stakeholders to elucidate household energy hardship experiences:
• The first review has a national focus and provides findings on the barriers and enablers to households benefiting from Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Energy Efficiency (EE) in Australia.
• The second review has an international focus and examines access and scalability issues associated with energy programs.
• The co-design offers insights into the drivers of household energy hardship, household coping strategies when experiencing energy hardship, eligibility challenges for households attempting to access support, sector challenges for addressing energy hardship, and what an equitable energy transition may look like from a household perspective.
