What impact at national level for @STEP__Energy? Members share how they’ve now become very visible energy experts to their governments and in their countries thanks to STEP, and all the work in the network. More about the results of the project: https://t.co/kwLRVNEJUS

[The Consumer Voice @beuc]

Consumer groups can have the role of contacting energy providers for consumers that are not digitally literate or don’t have access to online tools that could help them get better deals on their energy bills, explains @pandrefonseca from our 🇵🇹 member @DECOAssociacao.

“Thanks to the advice we provided to consumers in situation of energy poverty, they realised for the first time that they could be in charge of their energy bill” - Petra Cakovska from @sos_poprad about the importance to tackle energy poverty not through social measures alone.

[The Consumer Voice @beuc]

Households in situation of energy poverty are not only facing issues related to energy. It is a multifaceted issue and can impact consumers in different areas:
👉 economic
👉 social
👉 health
👉 housing
