A public debate on energy poverty, local solutions and scalable practices from EU projects at EUSEW 2026 Sustainable Energy Days
GINNGER will participate in the EUSEW 2026 Sustainable Energy Days, joining forces with the EU-funded projects REGEN, WeGenerate, and BLUEPRINT.
Together, the projects will explore key challenges, share best practices, and develop actionable recommendations for advancing energy efficiency across Europe.
Adopting a bottom-up perspective, the discussion will build on existing policy briefs and practical experiences from EU-funded initiatives. Each project will present a pilot city, highlighting locally implemented solutions to address energy poverty and improve energy resilience.
The session will foster a policy-oriented exchange, actively engaging practitioners, policy enablers, and civil society representatives in a constructive dialogue on how to scale effective solutions across European regions, with a particular focus on Southern Europe.
