PEER

Energy poverty is a problem that exists in all EU Member States, not just the countries with colder climates. As a form of material deprivation, it's when low-income households cannot afford energy-efficient homes. The EU-funded PEER project will develop the Porto Energy Hub to support a novel renovation programme in the north of Douro river region of Porto Metropolitan Area, AMP-ND (Portugal). Specifically, the project will develop tools to overcome market barriers for social and low-income households. PEER will focus on delivering energy efficiency to improve housing conditions in AMP-ND, namely on the interventions on reducing building energy needs. It will also set up a one-stop-shop promoting energy-efficient building renovations.
