Includes insights on household behavior and electricity consumption patterns which reveal that, in Europe and Central Asia, the erosion of tariff based subsidies has disproportionately affected the poor, while direct transfers through social benefit systems have often been inadequately targeted. This book suggests alternative strategies.
