Quantifying the Impact: Addressing Energy Poverty Through Efficiency
Time: 10.00 – 11.30
As the European Union advances towards its goal of attaining climate neutrality by 2050, the need for a deep economic transformation to avoid social and regional disparities is critical to achieve a green, fair and equitable energy transition for all. This makes energy efficiency and the alleviation of energy poverty central to this process, for which gaps in knowledge and practice remain, despite recent scientific and policy efforts.
The Climate Alliance project RENOVERTY is hosting this event together with its sister projects INHERIT and SEED MICAT to showcase how to address energy poverty through efficiency. The seminar will highlight the necessity for energy efficiency policies which address the specific needs of understudied regions and/ or contexts faced with unique challenges, like rural areas, and the tools which can complement these. The event will explore how energy efficiency policies can be more effectively designed and implemented using quantification tools and approaches. These tools and approaches not only evaluate the effectiveness of energy efficiency measures but also provide valuable insights during the policy design process, guiding the allocation of incentives and offering data-driven forecasts.
