According to Eurostat, the European statistical agency, 16.9% of Cypriots reported difficulties heating their homes in 2023. This is an improvement of 2.3% compared to 2022, when one in five residents on the island struggled to maintain adequate warmth.

Conversely, countries with the fewest reports of heating struggles include Luxembourg (2.1%), Finland (2.6%), Slovenia (3.6%), Austria (3.9%), and Estonia (4.1%).
