POWERINGCITIZENS is a project funded by the European Commission through Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Programme (CERV), focused on promoting clean energy and ensuring a just and inclusive transition. It aims to empower energy-poor citizens through community actions and support.

Specific project objectives:

• Create a Guide on Energy Empowerment that explains different models for empowering citizens in energy matters.
• Organize events for experts, young people, and disadvantaged groups, such as the elderly, women, and people with disabilities, particularly those from small or remote areas.
• Involve communities in assessing energy poverty levels in households within small cities and remote areas of each participating country.

POWERINGCITIZENS project is implemented by Balkan Green Foundation, Comparative Research Network EV, Marche Polytechnic University, INZEB Institute of Zero Energy Buildings, Stichting European Center for Researching, Education and Consulting, and the Environmental & Territorial Management Institute.
