The final conference of the Horizon 2020 project SocialWatt, titled "Meeting need with ambition: Boosting energy efficiency to alleviate rising energy poverty in Europe" shared experience in designing and implementing energy efficiency schemes to alleviate energy poverty, and discussed how to address key challenges to scale up support to the energy poor, which is particularly important as needs grow.

This report presents the main communication material developed to promote SocialWatt.

This report presents the main tools used to establish the visual identity of SocialWatt, as well as the project website.

This report summarises the project’s objectives, activities and achievements in a simple, easily readable way.

SocialWatt organized three webinars to discuss how energy efficiency schemes can tackle energy poverty, especially in the context of the Article 7 of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED)

This report presents EDP's energy poverty action plan, developed within the framework of SocialWatt. It includes a technical and financial analysis of the schemes that will be implemented in Portugal. The plan is part of a more comprehensive internal plan that is under development.

This report contains definitions and indicators currently available to measure energy poverty at European and Member State level, studies on the national contexts for the 11 SocialWatt countries and a range of good practice examples that illustrate different approaches taken to alleviate energy poverty.

This briefing summarizes the main lessons learnt from SocialWatt and interviews with 21 experts in Europe about the role of energy companies in tackling energy poverty, and more specifically for energy efficiency schemes tackling energy poverty (special focus of SocialWatt).
Energy companies are the first contacts of consumers about energy issues, and therefore key to identify who needs support.
Existing schemes show that both, consumers and energy companies, could benefit if energy advice was part of the basic energy service.

While financial aids for energy bills remain essential, a growing number of renovation programmes with clearer targeting are a key part of the solution.
This briefing provides an overview of the measures adopted by 10 countries to face the energy crisis, and the national energy efficiency measures they implement to tackle energy poverty.

Analysing the changes in the policies between 2019 and now, it found trends in policy measures that are more specifically targeted on priority groups and promoting deeper renovations.

It also discusses upcoming challenges.
