Energy is key to the future of local communities. And in a small village at the foot of the Central Apennines, this awareness is turning into an ambitious action plan.

As part of the European Union's strong commitment to climate neutrality and sustainable living, the REHOUSE project represents a crucial step in transforming Europe's building stock through innovative, people-centred renovation strategies.

The Enablers Board of the EU’s Support service for Citizen-led renovation discussed priority areas for upscaling at its fourth meeting in Brussels on 11 June.

Our joint session titled “Housing for Resilient Cities: Empowering Citizens for a Clean Energy Transition” brought together policymakers, local leaders, and innovators to explore how citizen-led initiatives can drive the decarbonisation of urban housing and tackle energy poverty.

REGEA highlights how Citizen-led Renovation initiatives improve access to finance and strengthen societal resilience.

The future of our country and in particular, the future of our village, Piornal, depends on the health of the planet.

On 21 May 2025, the webinar “Energy Communities & District Heating: A Practical Guide for Municipalities” was organised by the Smart Cities Marketplace, in collaboration with DG ENER and other EU-level partners.
