Description du projet
Un soutien aux projets luttant contre la pauvreté énergétique
La pauvreté énergétique constitue de nos jours un grave problème. Des programmes de soutien et des initiatives financières alternatives ont ainsi émergé comme moyens viables d’atténuer ses effets sur les citoyens en situation de pauvreté énergétique. Le projet POWERPOOR, financé par l’UE, développera des projets qui soutiendront les citoyens en situation de pauvreté énergétique, ainsi que l’utilisation d’options alternatives de financement comme les coopératives et le financement participatif. Il encouragera l’échange d’expérience et de savoir, la réalisation à petite échelle d’interventions d’efficacité énergétique et l’installation de sources d’énergie renouvelables. Des projets pilotes de soutien seront planifiés et développés dans huit pays de l’UE sous la direction de défenseurs/mentors certifiés en matière d’énergie qui soutiendront plus de 22 000 ménages en situation de pauvreté énergétique et encourageront l’engagement des citoyens. Les résultats permettront d’améliorer la connaissance des décideurs politiques et seront utilisés pour des initiatives à l’échelle internationale et européenne.
Objectif
The main objective of POWERPOOR is to develop support programmes/schemes for energy poor citizens and encourage the use of alternative financing schemes (e.g. establishing energy communities / cooperatives, crowd funding). POWERPOOR will facilitate experience and knowledge sharing, as well as the implementation of small-scale energy efficiency interventions and the installation of renewable energy sources, increasing the active participation of citizens.
Pilot energy poor support programmes/schemes will be designed, developed and implemented in eight countries across Europe, led by a network of certified Energy Supporters and Energy Communities Mentors. The Energy Supporters / Mentors will support (more than 22,000) energy poor households to plan and implement energy efficiency interventions, as well as participate in joint energy initiatives. Energy poor citizens will be engaged through various planned activities, such as Info Days, Local Energy Poverty Offices, and ICT-driven tools (Energy Poverty Mitigation Toolkit). The establishment of the Stakeholders Liaison Groups will also facilitate the engagement and the provision of support to energy poor households. Guidelines on how to tackle energy poverty in Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans will also be developed.
Based on the experience gained and the lessons learnt from implementing POWERPOOR, EU policy recommendations and 8 National Roadmaps will be elaborated, so that policy makers at all governance levels can learn from the project. The project results will be broadly disseminated, and synergies will be pursued with global and EU initiatives, such as the EU Energy Poverty Observatory and the (EU and Global) Covenant of Mayors on Energy and Climate. The participation of networks in the Consortium will strengthen the dissemination and exploitation of POWERPOOR outputs across Europe during and beyond the project implementation.
