We provide tailored technical assistance to local governments and organisations working closely with them to tackle the root causes of energy poverty, based on a structured and comprehensive approach. Our open calls for technical assistance enable us to support beneficiaries in designing and implementing effective, locally grounded work plans, while promoting innovation and collaboration across sectors and stakeholders.
Our first two calls, launched in 2022 and 2023, led to partnerships with around 85 local governments across Europe. Building on this success, we will launch additional calls over the 2025–2028 period, with a particular focus on severely affected communities facing structural barriers to adequate energy access, and on innovative local initiatives that can be tested, strengthened and scaled up to deliver lasting impact.
Applications will open on 16 February 2026 at 9:00 AM CET. Please ensure you have read all the different documents before proceeding.
