@h_doukas gave an extraordinary presentation on the #POWERPOOR project. Those are the main tools that are available to be used in alleviating #energypoverty. But as he said, 'the Energy Suporters and Mentors are the real heroes'!

The next speaker from @eumayors presented some of the most important goals of the Covenant of Mayors and how they should support local authorities. He stressed that the municipalities need to choose the indicators that suits their needs, 'they need to have the data to work with'

He added that 'The lack of #data is a big problem, especially when it comes to #energypoverty'

The last speaker of the day from @Ecoserveis gave us some valuable insights on how the situation on #energypoverty looks in Spain. Even if the statistics look good, real time data might show different results.

She added that Covid reminded of existing problems.
'The need of information, people are not aware of all the measures to protect #vulnerableconsumers, and don’t know where to find this information'

She also stressed that the most important actions in alleviating #energypoverty are to be taken are at a local level.
She also introduced a new #Horizon2020 project #Sun4All
