For the city and its vulnerable residents, the involvement of Valencia in the POWER UP project was a gamechanger in many ways.

It provides long-term access to those roofs through a public tender.
As a cooperative project developer and energy supplier, the Belgian citizen energy cooperative Ecopower supports its members to save energy.
