COVID-19 Energy Map

Global Mapping of Emergency Measures Adopted During the COVID-19 Pandemic for Continuous and Affordable Household Energy Supplies

About the COVID energy map.

Since March 2020, researchers from the EU COST Action ENGAGER Energy Poverty have mapped out 380+ global responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, as undertaken by governments, regulators, utilities and energy companies to ensure continuous and affordable energy supplies for households during the COVID-19 crisis. This global mapping excercise led to the most comprehensive international evidence-based database of emergency measures undertaken to date, all to support access to energy services and alleviate energy poverty. The map can be used by researchers and policy-makers alike to study and compare responses to COVID-19.
