NUOVE ENERGIE sportello povertà energetica di Portobello

PORTOBELLO is the social emporium of Modena created in 2013 to prevent families affected by the economic crisis from slipping into poverty through food aid. NUOVE ENERGIE is the first consultancy desk on electricity and gas consumption in the city offered to the beneficiary families. The desk is run by volunteers after a training course by local consumer associations (ADICONSUM, FEDERCONSUMATORI). The desk helps families in reading their bills and in finding the best supply conditions compared to their own conditions.

Some concrete key performance indicators (KPIs) of the project include:

• Number of families reached: 150.

Main beneficiaries: the energy poor and frontline workers.
