The Support service for Citizen-led Renovation (CLR) is an EU initiative aiming to empower existing and prospective energy communities to put citizens in the driver’s seat for energy-saving renovation projects.
Phase I assisted 4 pilot projects in overcoming financial, legal, technical, and informational barriers to deliver sustainable residential buildings.
In Phase II, CLR enhanced its tailored support services for selected Pilots, Learners, and Followers by providing various levels of assistance. This included one-on-one sessions, webinars, workshops, peer-to-peer learning, and community-driven events aimed at strengthening local capacities and replicating successful energy renovation models.
Building on this foundation, Phase III of the Support service is scaling up by establishing a network of 11 organisations (Energy Agencies, cooperatives, associations...) to support widespread citizen-led renovation. With a stronger infrastructure and an expanded support network, CLR aims to empower more citizens and communities to drive the transition toward energy-efficient and resilient buildings across Europe.
