The　objective　of　the　study　is　to　develop　a　multidimensional　energy　poverty　index　(EPI).　The　current　study　examines　the　impacts　of　multidimensional　energy　poverty　indicators　using　mathematical　composite　index　and,　econometric　models　for　five　Asian　countries.　Multidimensional　energy　poverty　indicator　is　used　to　evaluate　the　overall　consequences　of　these　region＇s　energy　poverty.　It　is　estimated　that　EPI　of　Nepal　region　is　0.02,　Sri　Lanka　composite　score　(CS)　is　0.03,　and　Bangladesh＇s　CS　is　0.011,　which　are　the　maximum　affected　nations.　In　contrast,　India＇s　CS　is　above　0.88　and　Pakistan＇s　CS　is　above　0.49　and　are　expected　to　be　the　minimum　energy　poor.　Of　the　total　energy　production,　79%　is　based　on　traditional　fuels,　followed　by　12%　based　on　petroleum　products.　Results　further　highlight　the　availability　of　electricity,　the　time　it　earns　to　obtain　electricity,　access　to　clean　energy,　and　cooking　technology　have　substantial　positive　relationship　with　region＇s　EPI.　Private　investment　in　energy　sector　is　a　consistent　negative　component　in　EPI.　In　other　economies,　poverty　headcount　ratio　coefficients　are　notably　positive.　Implemented　energy　policies　and　their　impact　on　access　to　energy　in　South　Asian　region,　highlight　possible　challenges　but　also　benefits　of　the　association　between　energy　poverty　and　access　to　energy.　©　2022　Elsevier　Ltd
