On June 28 and 29, the second international meeting of the Energy Poverty Advisory Hub ( EPAH ) will take place in Zagreb (Croatia). A project promoted by the European Commission and coordinated by Ecoserveis to eradicate energy poverty and accelerate a just energy transition for European local governments.
Under the motto “Moving towards energy autonomy: how to ensure social inclusion”, and amidst a delicate geopolitical context and a changing energy market reality, the conference at the end of June is open to agents, municipalities and citizens. The conference is expected to bring together local governments, EU representatives, policymakers, energy agencies, civil society organizations and all stakeholders working in the field of energy poverty. One week before the meeting, registrations already have 200 participants.
The two-day program includes talks, debates, keynote speeches, interactive workshops and field visits that will allow participants to discuss, learn from each other and share practices on how the European Union and national and local actors can work together to contribute to the rapid energy transition and reduce energy poverty.
Assistance to municipalities
EPAH has an advisory service for municipalities with a multidisciplinary team of experts in energy poverty. Through several competitive open calls (2022-2024) municipalities can request technical advice. The Zagreb conference is the first international in-person conference organized by EPAH, where a large part of the municipalities that have joined the European project to receive technical assistance to address energy poverty at the local level will be present.
This June’s event will be open to those interested in attending in Zagreb, and some sessions will be streamed .
