Energy or fuel poverty issue constitutes a global challenge. In Europe, more than 50 million people were affected by energy poverty, while other sources claim that the numbers are much higher. Energy poverty has a different definition in developed and developing countries. For developing countries, studies report that approximately 2 billion people around the world do not have access to reliable and modern energy services.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
