PowerPoor is an EU Horizon2020 programme funded project which aims to develop support programmes/schemes for energy-poor citizens and encourage the use of alternative financing schemes, e.g., establishing energy communities/cooperatives and crowdfunding; it will also encourage the exchange of experience and knowledge, the realisation of small-scale energy efficiency interventions, and the installation of RES technologies. Pilot support projects are planned in eight EU countries under the direction of trained/certified energy supporters and mentors.
