105 million of Europeans on average are considered to live in energy poverty. Energy communities can empower vulnerable and low-income households across Europe to be able to share in the benefits of the energy transition.
A section of the REScoop Plus website features examples of energy communities fighting energy poverty around Europe. The examples included are the following:
- TupperWatt: a collaborative way to explore energy efficiency
- FJR Ordning: a collective way to save on heat cost in Denmark
- Energy Solidaire: an innovative way to finance Energy Solidarity in France
- The Solar House: a multi tenant social housing production project in Denmark
- Repowering Brixton: a support mechanism for low income households to get out expensive deals in England
- Good Energy in Social Entrepreneurship: ZEZ fights youth unemployment as well as energy poverty in Croatia
- De Wijkwerf: support for energy efficiency measures in households
The examples featured on the website can inspire other energy communities thinking of developing energy solidarity actions.
