@EnActNow A8.2 We LOVE projects that bring together different #stakeholders like #Romania's Center for the Study of Democracy! They aim to map who is at risk of #energypoverty to better enable organisations and governments to act collectively. https://t.co/8Tl38k3aBV #SocInn4NRG #EnChat

@EnActNow A8.1 Another GREAT #idea to help #tackleenergypoverty! Italy's Fratello Sole plans, funds, and carries out #energyefficient renovations for #nonprofits, helping them to keep more of their funds to allocate to those they serve. https://t.co/sqpHmzoR7K #SocInnTEP #EnChat

@EnActNow A7.3 In #Hungary, Apro'Tech is helping low-income #residents switch to impressively #efficient #traditional masonry #heaters! Less wood used also means less time spent gathering wood. https://t.co/IkJfNX7QCc #EnChat #SocInnTEP #heating

@EnActNow A7.2 Behaviour change begins with the young! Italy's InVento Labs shows students how to help their communities by facilitating their own projects for societal improvement - many of which have focused on #energypoverty. https://t.co/JSG6ZmxGvN #EnChat #SocInnTEP

@EnActNow A7.1 Interesting model - in six countries, @Assist2gether's Home #Energy Advisors provide targeted information to help low-income residents improve #energyefficiency. The data they take also helps gov'ts better focus their efforts. https://t.co/gTN2bAQF6T #SocInn4NRG #EnChat

@EnActNow A6.4 Another #energy co-op, FINE Energy is an incubation model with plans to bring #greenenergy to #Poland's small, rural #communities, which are more strongly affected by #energypoverty than urban areas. https://t.co/BgWeFY2Qfh #SocInnTEP #EnChat

@EnActNow A6.3 For #communities far away from #power sources, keeping the lights on can get expensive fast. #Greece's Sifnos' Island Cooperative is building its own hybrid #power plant to ensure round-the-clock affordable, #cleanenergy! https://t.co/BECd0JZ2bF #SocInn4NRG #EnChat

@EnActNow A6.2 Germany's @OEEX_GmbH helps customers purchase #RenewableEnergy when it's the cheapest - also helping prevent excess #renewables being 'dumped'. Low-income users can time big #energy usage like laundry to when #prices are low! https://t.co/7Umc5FSlBm #EnChat #SocInn4NRG

[Social Innovation to Tackle Energy Poverty @SocInnTEP]

@EnActNow A4.5 #Cities can also help get renovations underway. #Bucharest has invested 400 mln EUR to renovate thousands of apartment buildings, saving #emissions and lowering #energybills. https://t.co/E4z6TnUEKB #SocInn4NRG #EnChat

@EnActNow A4.3 Just HOW to get deep energy reno's done is another challenge! #Portugal's Just a Change recruits #students to help #renovate the homes of people in #energypoverty - often elderly or young #families. https://t.co/rlfviMd7tx #SocInn4NRG #energy #EnChat

[Social Innovation to Tackle Energy Poverty @SocInnTEP]

@EnActNow A4.2 A big challenge of deep #energy renovations is identifying exactly where they're needed! Cue #Portugal's @CENSE_FCT_UNL, who create powerful tools like a living #fuelpoverty vulnerability index to direct efforts. https://t.co/l6dbYLJZBt #energypoverty #SocInn4NRG
