Description
The new Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) has strengthened its provisions on energy poverty, in a context of energy crisis. This highlights the major role of energy efficiency measures to tackle energy poverty.
This webinar will share experience in this field, looking more specifically at how policies are designed to reach priority groups.
Veronika Jirickova (European Commission / DG ENER) will summarize the new provisions on energy poverty in the EED.
Based on a review of the MURE database, Samuele Livraghi (IEECP and ODYSSEE-MURE project) will then provide an overview of Member States' energy efficiency measures fully or partly meant to tackle energy poverty, analysing how they have defined their target groups and how these measures are designed to reach these groups.
Solenne Toum (ATEE and ENSMOV Plus project) will complement this overview with findings from a set of national examples analysed in ENSMOV Plus about energy efficiency policies reported by Member States to their energy savings obligation (now Article 8 of the EED).
The closing panel discussion will focus on the challenges in reaching target groups and differences with indicators used to assess energy poverty, looking at specific situations:
- The case of the private rented sector, with Stefan Bouzarovski (University of Manchester / ENPOR project)
- The case of rural energy poverty, with Marta García París (Ecoserveis / RENOVERTY project)
ODYSSEE-MURE, ENSMOV Plus and RENOVERTY are projects co-funded by the European Union under the LIFE programme. ENPOR was a project funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 programme.
