In the research, we analyse the non-linear relationship between energy poverty and its determinants across the ASEAN+6 region between 1980 and 2019. Two proxies are used to capture the energy poverty viz. electricity consumption and access to electricity. The effects of the regressors on energy poverty are examined with a non-parametric estimation technique using local linear dummy variable estimates (LLDVEs). The estimates suggest real income has a mixed effect on electricity consumption and that electricity consumption has been rising with real income since 2009. Access to the internet cause increased electricity consumption, while a mixed effect is revealed for population and human capital. Meanwhile, real income, population, and access to the internet revealed mixed effects on access to electricity, whereas human capital shows a positive and significant impact. Renewable energy production has a negligible effect on reducing access to electricity for some periods. Additionally, heterogeneity exists in electricity consumption, access to electricity, across countries and within their country-specific trends. Similar results are obtained when only the ASEAN region is considered.

在研究中，我们分析了 1980 年至 2019 年东盟+6 地区能源贫困及其决定因素之间的非线性关系。使用两个代理来捕捉能源贫困，即。电力消耗和电力供应。使用局部线性虚拟变量估计 (LLDVE) 的非参数估计技术检查回归量对能源贫困的影响。估计表明，实际收入对电力消费的影响是混合的，自 2009 年以来，电力消费随着实际收入的增加而增加。访问互联网导致电力消费增加，而人口和人力资本则显示出混合效应。与此同时，实际收入、人口和互联网接入显示出对电力供应的混合影响，而人力资本则显示出积极而显着的影响。在某些时期，可再生能源生产对减少电力供应的影响可以忽略不计。此外，在电力消耗、电力供应、国家间和国家特定趋势中存在异质性。当仅考虑东盟地区时，会得到类似的结果。
