We were delighted to host a joint webinar with the European Energy Poverty Advisory Hub and EU Peers, exploring how energy poverty indicators can be translated into practical, local renovation support.

Energy poverty remains one of Europe’s most pressing social and climate challenges. While data helps us understand the scale of the issue, the real impact comes from turning insight into action through strong local delivery models, effective One-Stop Shops, and targeted technical assistance.

During the session, we explored:

🔹 The role of Integrated Home Renovation Services (OSS) in accelerating retrofit delivery

🔹 Ireland’s national retrofit ambitions and policy context

🔹 The newly launched EPAH Call for Technical Assistance (open until 31 March 2026)

🔹 How local authorities can move from diagnosis to implementation

We encourage local and regional authorities, energy agencies, and retrofit practitioners to explore the opportunities available through EPAH and EU Peers and to continue the conversation.
