💡 Energy poverty is one of the EU’s greatest challenges—are we doing enough? Between 35 and 72 million people (8–16% of the population) in the EU face energy poverty, unable to keep their homes adequately warm. This stark reality forces many to make impossible choices: paying the bills or putting food on the table. For vulnerable households and those experiencing poverty, the impact is even more devastating—damaging health, well-being, and quality of life. The EU has rolled out policy instruments over the years to address this crisis, but here’s the big question: Are these policies making a real difference? If you’re ready to dive deep into this critical issue, join me at the Right to Energy Forum on Monday morning, December 2, in Brussels and online. 🎙️ On behalf of EAPN - European Anti Poverty Network I’ll be chairing the opening panel discussion: “Can the Fit for 55 Package align climate action with social impact goals to tackle #EnergyPoverty?” Joining me and some brilliant minds who will share insights and spark real dialogue: 🇪🇺 @Veronique Marx, DG-ENER, European Commission 💼 Tuscany Bell, European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU) 🔍 Louise Sunderland, Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) This is your chance to learn, engage, and be part of the solution. Don’t miss it—register now: 👉 https://lnkd.in/evgFf-6s Let’s turn up the heat on tackling energy poverty. 🔥 #EnergyPoverty #SocialJustice #ClimateAction #Fitfor55 #RightToEnergy

💡 1 in 2 EU citizens could be involved in mechanisms that enable them to produce their own electricity by 2050. In light of today's energy and cost of living crises, this could enable security of supply, lower and more stable prices, and a more community-centred approach to energy supply.

More and more energy communities want to tackle #energypoverty - but engaging in this work can often be difficult. CEES partners can offer some valuable insights. Check out our webinar exploring the challenges and barriers energy communities typically face in two key areas: legal and regulatory frameworks and financing and funding.

The principle of 'subsidiarity' is fundamental to how the EU functions. What does this mean for efforts to tackle #energypoverty within the EU? 🎯 The EU establishes high-level policy frameworks, often with clear targets, but allows Member States flexibility on how they implement national action 🔧 Recognising the value of #energycommunities and the need to tackle the growing challenge of energy poverty, the EU created a variety of tools and policy initiatives to support and stimulate national and local actions in both areas CEES analysis follows the evolution of policy concerning energy poverty and ECs with the aim of seeing how well they align.
