"Energy is conceptualised as something that is abstracted from what people do, and from the histories, cultures and contexts in which energy demand is constituted' (Riniken et al., 2019, 2).
This quote is important to consider in our article and as we continue the EVP project because it helps situate energy insecurity (vulnerability) within its contexts. Understanding how people cope with energy (expenses and production), what history certain groups or cultures have with energy access, can help formulate a comprehensive classification of energy services and help us identify what kind of policies and interventions are needed in those communities. To keep in mind, however, is these interventions shall not come with a drastic or harmful modification of the communities where actions are operated.
