Energy Justice as a Key to Achieve Affordable Energy

This chapter addresses the relationship between affordable energy and energy justice. Inevitably, affordability is obtained when there is fair distribution of the energy benefits and burdens, meaning securing affordable energy to all. Additionally, this chapter explores different restrictions, limitations and barriers that nations may face when achieving affordable energy with energy justice. In order to overpass those challenges, governments, financial institutions and consumers should re-think the instruments to achieve the ultimate goal. Some new tools are proposed for all the mentioned players, including boosting energy education as a key driver to engage consumers into the energy system.
