Inclusive Renovation: How OSS can tackle Energy Poverty

Did you know that 34 million Europeans struggle to keep their homes warm in winter or cool in summer? With 75% of the EU’s buildings still energy inefficient, the demand for accessible, effective renovation support has never been more urgent. One-stop shops (OSS) are at the heart of this transformation—bridging the gap between vulnerable households and life-changing energy solutions.

Join the EU Peers Learning Lab, designed exclusively for OSS practitioners, to explore actionable strategies for identifying, engaging, and supporting energy-poor households. From innovative outreach to tailored financing and personalised renovation roadmaps, this is your opportunity to learn, share, and replicate success.
