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. Our support service for four selected pilots in Ireland, Portugal, Belgium and Bulgaria is underway to strengthen community building and assist in replicating programmes for energy renovations of buildings, including insulation, new technical systems and installing renewables. We are currently helping the four pilot projects to overcome financial, legal, technical and informational barriers and deliver future-proof residential buildings. As we enter CLR Phase II, we are expanding our support services to cater to our selected Pilots, Learners and Followers with various levels of support, combining one-on-one sessions, webinars, workshops, peer-to-peer learning and events.
