The “Ponto de Transição + PRÓXIMO” or “Transition Point Next2U” is a mobile one-stop shop which provided energy related advice by meeting people at a mobile assistance point. The support can significantly enhance the living conditions of vulnerable families, boost their resilience and speed up a fair energy transition.

By engaging the community, conducting home energy assessments, and fostering partnerships, the initiative successfully improved energy efficiency and sustainability in the municipalities of Barreiro, Moita, Montijo, and Alcochete.

The "Transition Point Next2U" initiative involved recruiting and training local technicians and Transition Agents to provide energy assessments, advice on bills, and assistance with financing for home renovations across Barreiro, Moita, Montijo, and Alcochete. As a result, the project attracted 366 visitors, conducted 256 home energy assessments, and identified 131 potential beneficiaries for the "Energy Voucher" program, demonstrating significant community engagement and support for addressing energy poverty.
