The European Energy Poverty Observatory

The European Energy Poverty Observatory is a collaborative initiative recognizing the need for comprehensive information and innovative policies to address energy poverty. Established by a consortium of organizations, the observatory aims to improve transparency, facilitate knowledge sharing, and provide technical assistance. Through various work packages like web portals, indicator dashboards, and communication materials, the observatory strives to create a knowledge hub to catalyze insights and support policy development in the European context.
