What is in it for me? A people-centered account of household energy transition co-benefits in Poland

Jan Frankowski et al.

Summary: The study found that upgrading heating systems led to significant improvements in thermal comfort, free time, cleanliness, and indoor air quality for beneficiary households. However, households expressed reluctance to fully abandon solid fuel-based heating due to perceived uncertainties around future energy prices and supply. Additionally, there are warnings about potentially regressive distributional effects when subsidy allocation mechanisms overlook the income and needs of beneficiaries.
