From collective self-consumption in social housing to social energy cooperative shares for vulnerable households: the POWER UP pilot cities are developing ambitious new schemes. POWER UP is based on the idea that renewable energy production and energy efficiency support measures must benefit vulnerable households. That is why different ways to achieve this have been collaboratively defined with households and local stakeholders in the cities of Valencia (Spain), Roznov (Czech Republic), Eeklo (Belgium) and UCSA (Italy).
This report allows for a behind-the-scenes look into how pilots co-created together with energy-poor households one or several of their renewable energy pilot schemes. Their aim: to move them out of energy poverty and prepare for their implementation based on a just governance.
As you’ll read through the report, you’ll learn about how practically the co-creation process with vulnerable households was organised or planned by four of the five pilots. Step-by-step the parties involved defined all aspects of the pilot schemes and explored different governance options. The selected governance option to implement the pilots are presented and explained. Finally, the report gives the – provisionally planned – energy poverty mitigation actions for each pilot.
This report is deliverable D3.2 of the POWER UP project.
