与许多形式的匮乏一样，燃料（或能源）匮乏也表现出空间上的集中性。然而，尽管有证据表明家庭长期没有足够的能源服务会加剧负面福利影响，但对其时空动态的研究却很有限。为了更好地了解这些动态，我们评估了相对较高的燃料贫困水平的分布如何随着时间的推移在英格兰地方当局的变化，根据政府的小面积估计。使用时空定量方法，特别是序列和聚类分析，确定了2010年至2019年燃料贫困估计的共同轨迹。相对能源富裕和相对能源剥夺被发现是空间持久性和时间根深蒂固。我们使用这些研究结果来评估英国的能源效率义务，能源公司义务（ECO）的目标。在过去十年中，能源效率义务作为实现环境和社会目标的基于市场的政策工具，在国际上越来越受欢迎。然而，虽然人们对这些措施在解决燃料匮乏问题方面的效用表示了极大的关切，但最近很少有研究对这些措施进行实证研究。我们在英格兰表明，经济合作组织的目标一直令人失望：地方当局确定为经历根深蒂固的能源匮乏通常得到较少的支持相比，燃料贫困水平波动或不太严重的地区。因此，本文（1）强调了燃料贫困的时空性的重要性，介绍了一种适合于在一系列国家背景下理解这些动态的分析方法;（2）强调了能源效率义务作为针对燃料贫困家庭的干预措施的局限性。
Like many forms of deprivation, fuel (or energy) poverty has been shown to concentrate spatially. However, there has been limited examination of its spatio-temporal dynamics, notwithstanding the evidence that prolonged periods without sufficient energy services in the home exacerbate negative welfare impacts. To better understand these dynamics, we evaluate how the distribution of relatively high levels of fuel poverty have changed over time across Local Authorities in England, based on government small area estimates. Common trajectories in fuel poverty estimates between 2010 and 2019 are identified using spatio-temporal quantitative methods, specifically sequence and cluster analysis. Relative energy affluence and relative energy deprivation are revealed to be spatially persistent and temporally entrenched. We use these findings to assess the targeting of the UK's energy efficiency obligation, the Energy Company Obligation (ECO). Energy efficiency obligations have become increasingly popular internationally over the last ten years as market-based policy instruments for addressing environmental and social goals. Yet, while significant concerns have been expressed about their utility in addressing fuel poverty, few recent studies have investigated these empirically. We show in England that the targeting of ECO has been disappointing: Local Authorities identified as experiencing entrenched energy deprivation typically receive less support compared to areas where fuel poverty levels fluctuate or are less severe. The paper thus (1) emphasises the importance of spatio-temporalities of fuel poverty, introducing an analytical approach suitable for understanding these dynamics in a range of national contexts; (2) highlights the limitations of energy efficiency obligations as tools for targeting interventions towards households in fuel poverty.
