National Liaison Groups

Stakeholders steering the project 

The project involves a range of stakeholders, including local and regional authorities, representatives from alternative financing schemes, housing providers, social workers, health practitioners, civil society organizations, energy planning/service stakeholders, and academic/technical universities. The project aims to enhance the capacity building of local and regional authorities, improve energy poverty policies, and promote citizen cooperatives, crowdfunding, and other innovative financing opportunities. Housing providers, social workers, and health practitioners will be able to assist energy poor citizens by offering energy renovations and not-for-profit energy services. NGOs, institutions, and associations involved in energy poverty will be able to use POWERPOOR's tools, materials, and methods to engage more effectively with energy poor citizens. Finally, academia and technical universities will provide training for young engineers and scientists on sustainable energy planning, which will offer comprehensive benefits in capacity building while addressing energy poverty. For the eight POWERPOOR pilot countries National Stakeholder Liaison Groups have been established. The members of the Stakeholder Liaison Groups are focal points in the national countries, experts in various relevant domains that both provide feedback to all the POWERPOOR activities on a national and European level. They serve as nodes of information for the project results and activities, and communicate these results to a wider audience. The members of the Liaison Group meet regularly to be aligned about any local, national, or European developments on energy poverty. They embody a diverse group of stakeholders, including but not limited to representatives from: municipalities, regions, energy agencies, universities, social services, non-governmental organisations, utilities and media. There have been 13 Stakeholder Liaison Group Meetings till now.
