Abstract

Access to energy is a prerequisite for human development. For this reason, the concept of energy poverty is carefully monitored by the United Nations and the European Union within the scope of “Sustainable Development” objectives. In this study, energy poverty is conceptually investigated, and the data related to the current energy consumption and the main indicators of energy poverty in various countries were examined. Moreover, socioeconomic characteristics of energy poor households in Turkey were examined with the help of the 2017 Household Budget Survey data set. According to the most recent data available, about one-quarter of households in Turkey are energy poor while nearly half of the households, which have the lowest income levels, were found to carry the risk of facing energy poverty. For the richest households, this rate is only 3.48%. Additionally, the share of energy poor households was observed to decrease from 2003 to 2017.

Özet

Enerjiye erişim, insani gelişme için bir ön koşuldur. Bu bağlamda, enerji yoksulluğu kavramı “Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma” hedefleri kapsamında, özellikle Birleşmiş Milletler ve Avrupa Birliği tarafından dikkatle izlenmektedir. Çalışmada enerji yoksulluğu kavramsal olarak incelenmiş ve çeşitli ülkelerde mevcut enerji tüketimlerine ilişkin verilere yer verilerek ve enerji yoksulluğu ile ilgili temel göstergeler incelenmiştir. Diğer yandan Türkiye özelinde enerji yoksulu haneler 2017 yılı hanehalkı bütçe anketi veri seti yardımıyla tespit edilerek, enerji yoksulu olarak değerlendirilen hanelerin sosyoekonomik özellikleri incelenmiştir. En güncel veriler olan 2017 yılı hanehalkı verilerine göre Türkiye’de hanelerin yaklaşık dörtte birinin, en düşük gelir seviyesine sahip hanelerin ise yaklaşık yarısının enerji yoksulluğu sorunuyla karşı karşıya olduğu bulunmuştur. En zengin dilimde yer alan hanelerde ise bu oran yalnızca %3,48 olarak bulunmuştur. Bununla birlikte 2003 yılından 2017 yılına gelindiğinde enerji yoksulu hanelerin oranında azalış tespit edilmiştir.
