Webinar: Supporting citizens in the fight against energy poverty

Lessons from Transition Point

Event Slider

Webinar to share the results of the Transition Point pilot project and discuss the role of one-stop shops in the fight against energy poverty.

This online session will present the main conclusions and recommendations of the Transition Point Impact Report. Transition Point is a Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation initiative which operated a pilot project in the Setúbal district of Portugal between 2022 and 2023. Operating from a renovated shipping container, Transition Point consists of a face-to-face service space – a ‘one-stop shop’ – that offers services to local people, including advice on electricity and gas, information and support for energy efficiency in homes and free energy assessments.

This webinar is aimed at all organisations involved in the fight against energy poverty, such as central government entities, municipalities, regional energy and environment agencies, non-governmental and community organisations, academic institutions and research centres, as well as private sector entities interested in accelerating a just energy transition.

 The webinar will be in Portuguese, with introductory remarks in English.
