Under the Horizon 2020 & LIFE programmes, the EC's European Climate, Infrastructure & Environment Executive Agency assists stakeholders to deliver the European Green Deal. The projects below deliver innovative solutions to combat energy poverty.
The ASSERT project is a European initiative within the LIFE23-CET-ENERPOV framework, designed to tackle the pressing challenge of energy poverty, with a particular focus on people with physical disabilities.
The project engage social and energy actors to promote consumers incorporation into the energy market and support new policies.
IRENE aims to address this challenge by promoting comprehensive and integral energy efficiency renovations in multi-apartment buildings, with a focus on combating energy poverty and preventing gentrification.
Building intErventions in vulNerable Districts against Energy poveRty
CLEAR-HP aims to facilitate consumers’ access to heat pumps products by accompanying consumers throughout the whole purchasing journey, and by addressing financial and regulatory barriers.
Community Tailored Actions for Energy Poverty Mitigation
ComActivate responds to growing levels of energy poverty across the EU, especially in the CEE region, by addressing the poor energy efficiency of buildings as a major driver of energy poverty, and as a driver of climate change; 75% of the building stock in the EU is inefficient with buildings responsible for 36% of GHG emissions.
CEES aims to test and refine actions – applying solidarity approaches – by which energy communities (ECs) can help alleviate energy poverty in their wider communities
The project's primary objective is to promote the adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) to enhance energy efficiency.
Focuses on reducing summer energy poverty incidence among European households.
DoppelPlus therefore relies on easy-to-implement behavioural changes that improves people´s quality of life and enable them to make a contribution to society.
EC4RURAL therefore aims to enable citizens and local actors to be part of or benefit from the CET processes led by Rural Energy Communities through renewable energy production and the sale of surplus energy.
Empowering women to take action against energy poverty in the Mediterranean
At the heart of the initiative is the creation and support of energy poverty observatories/national networks of experts in seven pilot countries.
Tailored measures supporting energy-vulnerable households
Actions to mitigate energy poverty in the private rented sector
The GENDER4POWER project aims to enhance living conditions and energy efficiency in buildings (and households) affected by energy poverty.
HANDS-ON will strengthen cross-sectoral capacities and multi-stakeholder governance of local and regional authorities across Europe by developing and delivering life-long, participatory learning-by-doing processes.
JUSTEM works with regional authorities and citizens in five pilot regions to assess energy poverty in coal regions in transition, build regional capacity about energy energy and develop plans to alleviate energy.
The project to support progress toward scale up of deep energy retrofit in the vulnerable district to fight energy poverty..
Addressing local energy poverty through the creation of energy renovation offices
Supports public and private entities to develop a bold renovation programme while mainstreaming new financial schemes in the Porto Metropolitan Area north of Portugal’s Douro river
Social Energy Market Players to Tackle Energy Poverty
Empowering Energy Poor Citizens through Joint Energy Initiatives
A consortium of partners from 5 countries (France, Netherlands, Germany, Lithuania, Spain) will work to develop dedicated tasks and skills diagnosis tools to assess potential of a building to be retrofitted in different retrofit scenario.
