The Municipality of Lorca, in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Madrid, initiated comprehensive efforts to address energy poverty in the Barrios Altos neighborhood.
This technical assistance aimed to assess the extent of energy poverty in the area, considering its impact on the population, severity, underlying energy issues, involved stakeholders, and potential solutions. The motivation stemmed from the lack of historical site-specific data for the target population. The plan aimed to integrate an energy poverty perspective into the existing neighborhood recovery master plan.
Co-creation methodologies were employed to engage the community and establish local energy communities among vulnerable residents. The assessment utilized various qualitative and quantitative methods: interviews, questionnaires, expert panels, participatory walkabouts, climate characterisation, cadastral studies, injury analysis, and invoice analysis.
