The race against energy poverty, an Olympic challenge

As the Olympic fever is still on, we’ve prepared two sporty teasers for you: We think power needs to go to those who have the least, to those who are the “armless archers” in the energy world. It’s not about breaking records. It’s about creating energy services that can compete with conventional ones and that help fighting energy poverty.

A few images shall give you the essence of our POWER UP project, with statements by coordinator Eduardo Blanco from Energy Cities, Claudia Ferre from Fundació València Clima i Energia as well as Biljana Dukovska and Iva Petrunova both fighting vulnerabilities trhough civil society engagement in North Macedonia, notably through the Macedonian Anti-Poverty Platform.

In a second video you can meet some of our European partners such as Gabriele Fregonese (SINLOC), Ben Caussyn (City of Eeklo) and Jan de Pauw (Ecopower). Don’t hesitate to share them!

What better place than sun-filled Valencia to talk about social renewable projects! What better group of people, than the hundreds of city-makers that gathered in Valencia for the conference to talk about the POWER UP pilots?
Valencia is Green Capital in 2024, a title which recognises the longstanding pioneer in sustainability. The city council does aim for a transformation that meets environmental criteria as much as social ones. Its outstanding support to energy communities and the special focus on the weakest residents, suffering from energy poverty, ill-health or other social disadvantageous, make Valencia a "fair transition" living lab. The experiences gathered in the city, both in winter and in summer, are shared with other local authorities within the Sun4 All Community of Practice.
