Growing the Energy Supporters & Mentors movement that alleviates energy poverty

One-day online training for experts who want to help energy poor households on the ground

While it is good that everyone is currently trying their best to find alternatives for the classic sources of energy, it is unfortunate that so many will become even more vulnerable. The lack of stability and predictability determine numerous consequences, among which are the soaring energy prices. Despite all this, we should not lose hope, and instead, play our part, no matter how small, and show true European solidarity. Join this one-day free webinar and become a certified Energy Supporter or Mentor.

Sustainable and safe housing for people fleeing the war in Ukraine – What can the Safe Homes Initiative offer?

| 20 September | 10-12 am CET

In light of the European Commission´s launch of the Safe Homes Guidance, the Housing Solutions Platform, a joint initiative by Fondation Abbé Pierre, FEANTSA and Housing Europe, will organise an online debate with the aim of getting a better understanding of the initiative and how it actually responds to the housing needs of the refugees feeling Ukraine. Experts from both European and grassroot levels together with representatives of the European Commission and the European Parliament will reflect on opportunities and risks linked to the provision of private accommodation and will discuss what further EU-level support is possible and needed for long term housing solutions, beyond private accommodation.

Achieving Energy Independence: the contribution of social, cooperative and public housing to the EU joint action plan RepowerEU

17 May 2022 | 10:00-12:15 CET

On May, 18th, the European Commission will present the details of the RepowerEU action plan to make Europe independent from Russian fossil fuels well before 2030, starting with gas, in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This plan will also outline a series of measures to respond to rising energy prices in Europe and replenish gas stocks for next winter. Questions now arise about the impact of the solutions proposed in the RepowerEU action plan on the social, cooperative, and public housing sector that interlinks with the already existing initiatives under the European Green Deal and the potential contribution of housing providers to the success of the Action Plan.

Growing the Energy Supporters & Mentors movement that alleviates energy poverty

EU training webinar from A to Z funded by the Horizon project, POWERPOOR

What does energy poverty mean and how can we recognise it when we see it? How can we diagnose an energy inefficient home or someone’s struggles with paying for a warm or cool home without making them feel ashamed of it? How can we tackle the problem effectively, leveraging innovative financing schemes and building energy communities?

Buildings at the heart of the EU’s new energy system

Our EU-funded project syn.ikia showing the way at #EUSEW21

This policy session will shed light on the potential that buildings offer for a successful transformation of the energy system by 2030 by empowering citizens at all levels and enabling the scale-up of holistic energy renovations. The speakers will present inspiring initiatives and best practices that are already in place at neighbourhood (Syn.ikia’s Sustainable Plus Energy Neighbourhoods), city (the MAtchUP project in València) and community level (REScoop’s citizen-led renovation). The presentations will highlight ways to empower residents to play a role in the energy transition while responding to their needs, especially lower-income households. These solutions place buildings in a broader and more interlinked context by reducing their energy use, acting as storage and ensuring a balanced grid, integrating renewables, using smart energy management systems as well as offering people a comfortable environment where to live.
