- Abstract
Until recently only one poverty alleviation policy was available nationwide in Spain - the social electricity tariff, a discount in the regulated price of electricity for vulnerable consumers. This article examines the evolution of this instrument and evaluates critical aspects of the current policy and regulatory framework from an energy justice and right to energy perspective. Confronted with the double challenge of an environmentally and socially just energy transition, we conclude that a reactive, welfare approach needs to be progressively replaced by policies aimed at the structural underpinnings of energy poverty and the climate crisis.
