Research from our POCITYF project highlights the urgent need for more inclusive approaches to tackling energy poverty across Europe.
The findings reveal that energy-poor citizens do not form a homogeneous group. Depending on their circumstances – whether they face high energy bills, live in poorly insulated homes, or experience broader social exclusion – their willingness to adopt energy-saving practices, seek support, or engage in community energy initiatives varies significantly.
Rather than relying solely on generic messaging or broad policy instruments, energy transition efforts must embrace more nuanced, citizen-centric strategies to drive participation and improve outcomes.
This is exactly why EGC takes part in projects like this – to deepen our shared understanding of human behavior and uncover real opportunities for action.
