energy subsidies
Fuel cost assistance
Energy subsidies are government policies that reduce the cost of producing or consuming energy—through direct payments, tax breaks, price controls, or favorable regulations.
Subsidies may support fossil fuels, renewable sources, or both: Critics argue that energy subsidies for oil and gas undermine climate goals.
The term often appears in debates about market distortion and environmental policy.
