Abstract Energy poverty affects 550,000 homes in the Netherlands yet policy interventions to alleviate this issue are rare. Therefore, we test two energy coaching interventions in Amsterdam: a static information group ( n = 67) which received energy efficient products and one energy-use report, and a smart information group ( n = 50), which also had a display providing real-time feedback on energy-use. Results across both groups, show a 75% success rate for alleviating energy poverty. On average homes reduced monthly electricity consumption by 62 kWh (33%), gas by 41 m 3 (42%), bills by €104 (53%) and percentage of income spent on energy from 10.1% to 5.3%.
