This paper aims to offer valuable insights into a paramount concern not so well debated in the literature, i.e. the spatial variation of energy poverty. This empirical analysis investigates the regional variation of energy poverty we draw on a sample of more than 300,000 Spanish households, extracted from the Spanish Household Budget Survey (HBS) for the period 2006–2022. To characterize the probability of a household finding itself in a situation of energy poverty the authors use a discrete choice univariate probit model. The results confirm that energy poverty is a phenomenon that is asymmetrically distributed across Spain, and mainly occurs in un-densely populated regions. In addition, the findings demonstrate that the incidence of energy poverty drivers is highly heterogeneous across regions19 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Jové-Llopis et al., 2024http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Política energèticaPolítica regionalEnergy policyEconomic zoninginfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7498192024-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
