What the Energy Poverty Dashboard Tells Us
|
|
The ENPOR project’s Energy Poverty Dashboard (EPD) is an interactive tool which allows users to access information relating to energy poverty in the Private Rented Sector across Europe. It is designed to be user-friendly and is suitable for use by policymakers, academics, NGOs and the general public.
The EPD contains 123 policies from 27 countries, as well as two pan-EU policies, collected by the ENPOR Consortium and crowdsourced using the EPD’s policy submission tool. Each of these policies are categorised according to how they address energy poverty; for example, Training and Information policies, or Energy Efficiency Obligation Schemes. There are 11 indicators (plus an option to select to view the share of energy poor tenants in the energy poor population), with data covering the years 2004-2021, where available. In a Resources page, users can browse further information related to energy poverty (more generally, and specific to the PRS), including project information, academic papers and energy-saving advice. The Dashboard tool is novel in several ways: - It allows users to view data at national, NUTS1 and NUTS2 scales, where data is available, allowing for more fine-grained understanding of energy poverty at subnational levels.
- Indicator data is available to view for the general population, or disaggregated to view only data for private rented sector tenants.
- Two indicators specifically measuring energy poverty in the PRS are included:
- REPI (Rented Private Housing Energy Poverty Indicator)
- STEPP (Share of Tenants in the Energy Poor Population)
- All of the data contained in the EPD is open-access and downloadable for use by the general public.
- Statistical significance information is provided to show the significance of the difference between energy poverty levels in the general population and PRS tenants.

Good Practices on Multigovernment Scale
|
|
Co-designing engaging strategies for successful stakeholder engagement: the ENPOR Replication The aim of ENPOR is to deepen the understanding of energy poverty policies for the private rented sector (PRS) and support the adaptation and implementation. To achieve this, ENPOR partners chose a participatory approach called co-design, that foresees the active collaboration of a selected group of stakeholders, representing the most appropriate actors to help reshape the selected policies. The co-design model deepened the understanding of the issues and possible solutions and in helped to reshape the policies. This report presents ENPOR’s replication plan, designed to provide guidelines on how to effectively implement the co-design approach, starting from the analysis and mapping of stakeholders to the engagement of the various stakeholders, including tenants and landlords. |

Recordings and briefings: ENPOR Capacity building event series
ENPOR Capacity building activities are being designed to overcome information gaps regarding the multidimensional effects of energy poverty. They are based on the ENPOR knowledge framework and aim to mitigate the possible adverse side-effects when designing and implementing policies. In the past months, ENPOR organised capacity building events, sharing learnings from the project under specific thematics. In order to ease the life of people who couldn’t join – and even those who could! – IEECP has gathered key findings and highlights from the presentations into short visual briefings. Materials are now available on the following topics: - The Split Incentive: Supporting building owners and energy poor tenants
- Energy efficiency advisory services for the rental sector
- How to reach (energy poor) tenants?
The Seminar recordings are also collected on our website: |

REGISTER NOW:Methodologies and tools to quantify split incentives seminar
|
September 7, 2023 (11:00 CET-online)
“Split incentives” refer to any situation where the benefits of a transaction do not accrue to the actor who pays for the transaction. In the context of energy efficiency in buildings, split incentives are linked with the return on investment related to energy efficient renovations due to the failure of distributing effectively financial obligations and rewards of these investments. The aim of the event, targeting policy makers, energy advisors, consultants on sectors where energy is now also gaining importance (e.g., also social sector), as well as the actors that energy poverty in the private rented sector (PRS) affects the most, i.e., tenants and landlords, is to present methodologies and tools that quantify “split incentives” so the upfront costs of such renovatins can be calculated in the planning phase of renovation projects with energy poor households involved.

EPAH-ENPOR German National Event: Socially Just Climate Protection: Approaches for an Inclusive Energy Transition
|
25 September 2023 | Frankfurt am Main, DE, 11:00 – 15:00 CET The energy transition affects a wide range of areas, from housing and mobility to social, economic and financial policy. How can we ensure that it is designed to be socially just? How can we cushion social hardships in connection with the Building Energy Act in order to preserve affordable housing? And how can energy cooperatives, for example, remedy the situation? The event, organised by Climate Alliance through the Energy Poverty Advisory Hub in collaboration with the Horizon 2020 project ENPOR, offers you the opportunity to discuss these questions and develop possible solutions for your region. The event language is German, it is open to all interested stakeholders and is free of charge. Catering will be provided. |
