The article discusses the issue of energy poverty in Portugal, which affects between 1.9 and 3 million people.
João Pedro Gouveia highlights the multidimensional nature of the problem, which includes difficulties in heating and cooling homes, delayed payment of energy bills, inefficient housing, and problems with humidity and mold.
Gouveia emphasizes the importance of improving energy efficiency in buildings and equipment, prioritizing passive measures such as insulation of walls and roofs.
He also suggests that the long-term solution to energy poverty lies in promoting effective renovation of homes, integrating renewable energy sources, and creating economic opportunities to increase incomes and reduce energy costs.
