Energy Projects Plus Talks Energy Poverty in the European Parliament

July 2, 2015

To honour our 20th working year tackling fuel poverty in Merseyside and Cheshire, Energy Projects Plus was invited to speak in the European Parliament on energy efficiency and fuel poverty at an international workshop organised by Theresa Griffin MEP.

Our Project Manager Dominic Griffiths presented a case study of our work as contribution to a debate on how energy efficiency is a key solution to energy poverty. As a way to illustrate how energy poverty can be reduced in everyday homes, Dominic discussed the various services we provided to a particular client, who gained greatly from our various projects and advice.

We helped clear the clients current fuel debts which they were unable to repay, maximise the client’s income through running a benefits check, referred them to the Warm Home Discount Scheme, helped secure free installation of energy efficient technology and gave invaluable energy efficiency advice. We also registered the client with our Collective Switch Campaign. Our help and specialist advice lead to a total financial gain of £7,890.58 for this client.

Dominic sat on the panel alongside Theresa Griffin MEP, Adrian Joyce; the campaign director for Renovate Europe, and key figures from the Directorate-General for Energy. This was a great opportunity to encourage influential politicians and key figures on what could be done in tackling fuel poverty in the EU, whilst also cutting carbon emissions and helping local communities.

Theresa Griffin MEP, sees the crucial importance of coordinating national energy policies in order to achieve EU-wide energy efficiency as a resolution to energy poverty. It was a great honour to be invited to the event and to help shape ideas on tackling fuel poverty in the EU.
