This handbook, published by the office of Tamás Meszerics (Member of the European Parliament) via The Greens/EFA group of the European Parliament, presents various case studies and best practices on how to overcome energy poverty in Europe.

 

The handbook presents projects delivering large scale physical interventions, offering energy advice, smart metering or financial support for energy poor households and finally bottom-up projects which actively involve the concerned households. Each case study provides an overview of the projects (and contacts with the leaderorganisation), presents the results and discusses lessons learnt through the projects. Success factors and elements of sustainability are also reviewed.
