Renewable energies also for vulnerable households

AURA-EE, in conjunction with citizen energy communities and local associations for the energy transition, invented a contractual and economic model to enable low-income households to equip their homes with renewable energy through citizen investment. This model is based on support and feasibility studies carried out by a local energy and housing agency, and the administrative and financial management of the renewable energy installation by an energy community on behalf of the household. This conference was an opportunity to present and discuss this model.
