RAPPEL - Réseau des acteurs contre la pauvreté et la précarité énergétique dans le logement / Energy poverty network

RAPPEL allows members to increase their skills and contribute to knowledge sharing and feedback. The subjects covered are varied and contribute to the development of new projects in the territories. Involved at the national level, the network animation team is also working on the evolution of the consideration of fuel poverty in public policies.

The project aims to:

• Connect and help structures that want to provide sustainable preventive and curative solutions to energy poverty.
• Capitalise, pool and show the various local experiences and projects.
• Promote the taking into account of energy poverty in public policies by holding regular dialogue with the competent institutions on the various fields covered by the problem of energy poverty.
• Reflect on courses of action, the reproducibility of existing actions, the creation or use of already existing tools to make them available to members.

With a budget between 100.000 and 1M, RAPPEL:

• Provides tools and resources (guides, publications, webinars about feedback of field operators every 2 months) - Information on existing financial schemes (national and local).
• Chairs discussion groups (googlegroup, experts meeting on specific topics once per year)
• Organises working groups on a specific topic – collect interest through a call for action and work on the topic for a year.
• Monthly newsletter to inform members (news, field feedback, tools, etc.).
• Periodic updates of the tools (2 per year).
• Annual conference.

It addresses the topics of: air quality, health, behaviour, household appliances, climate change, communities, indoor comfort, information and awareness, insulation, law and legislation, quality of dwelling, renewable energy, energy access and consumption, energy efficiency, energy prices, equity and justice, underconsumption, vulnerable consumers.
