Powering Up Social Energy: Local Journeys, European Futures

This high-level event taking place in Brussels, marks the achievement of four years of experimentation with and learning from inclusive business schemes. As governments struggle to balance climate goals with social equity and rising energy costs, POWER UP has worked with local pioneers in Spain, Belgium, Czechia, Italy, the Netherlands and North Macedonia to co-design energy schemes that are socially fair, locally owned, and economically viable. They range from social cooperative shares for facilitated membership access to municipal energy from cemeteries with earmarking for vulnerable households. Now it's time to share our biggest lessons — and to ask what comes next in policy and practice. 

This is the Final Advocacy Event of the POWER UP project, co-funded by Horizon 2020.
