abstract: This thesis explores the connection between energy poverty (EP) and energy transitions in housing. It stresses the urgency of climate change mitigation measures by looking at the local. In the Netherlands, municipalities have been tasked with reaching CO2 emission reduction goals related to household energy consumption. The thesis is based on a case study of the municipality of Oldambt, which sees among the highest EP in the Netherlands. The case study consists of a mixed methods approach, seeking to answer the research question: How do local energy transitions in housing affect energy poverty in the municipality of Oldambt? The findings suggest that EP forms a hurdle in achieving CO2 reduction goals, especially in municipalities like Oldambt. Simultaneously, it provides an opportunity for governments to cooperate in implementation of energy transition policies. Special attention is paid to the execution of PAW-project Nieuwborgen, which exemplifies the potential for municipal involvement in energy transitions, highlighting the issues local level governments might face when actively partaking.
