While energy poverty affects many people in the Netherlands, policy interventions to combat energy poverty are rare. This research tests two energy coaching interventions in Amsterdam: a static information group of people who receive energy efficient products and a smart information group of people who also received a display providing real-time feedback on energy-use. Both groups show a 75% success rate for alleviating energy poverty.
