Organised by the Directorate-General for Energy, the Energy Poverty Advisory Hub international annual conference is taking place on 15-16 October 2024 in Barcelona, Spain. This year, at its fourth edition, the event is focused on the theme"Turning the Tide: Paving the Way for Energy Poverty Alleviation." This annual meeting promises to be a crucial gathering of local governments, policymakers, experts, and stakeholders dedicated to addressing energy poverty and fostering sustainable solutions at the local level.
National and local governments in Spain are mobilised to address energy poverty, including by applying for technical assistance to develop local actions through the Energy Poverty Advisory Hub calls. Barcelona, a leader in the climate and energy transition, has made addressing energy poverty a key priority. The city stands out for its proactive sustainability initiatives, comprehensive social services, and commitment to affordable housing. Barcelona's support for renewable energy projects, green infrastructure, and innovative housing solutions demonstrates its dedication to a sustainable future. By hosting the 2024 Energy Poverty Advisory Hub international annual conference in Barcelona, we aim to reflect on their strong commitment to sustainable policies and initiatives.
Our objectives include:
- Share practical experiences and strategies between cities with varying track records of tackling energy poverty.
- Assess and disseminate the insights gained throughout the initiative.
Emphasise the urgent requirements of local governments, drawing from EPAH results and, in particular, the technical support provided.
