Pilot South East Energy Agency
Based in Ireland, South East Energy Agency is actively working to tackle energy poverty through research, technical expertise, and collaboration with local authorities and community organizations. The agency has been involved in evaluating best practices across Europe, introducing new technologies and behavioral strategies to reduce energy costs for vulnerable households.
The pilots' core: renewable energy & community building
The pilot focuses on implementing renewable energy solutions in energy-poor neighborhoods, particularly in community buildings such as schools, religious institutions, and public facilities. By transforming these spaces into renewable energy testbeds, the agency aims to showcase how local energy production can benefit entire communities.
South East Energy Agency will leverage its experience to:
- Pilot Renewable Energy Solutions: Implementing solar panels, energy storage systems, and other sustainable technologies in key community buildings.
- Develop best practices: Collaborating with partners to refine energy poverty strategies, ensuring solutions are scalable and replicable.
- Research & peer review: Investigating the effectiveness of new technologies and behavioral change programs to drive real impact.
Expected impact
By integrating renewable energy into community spaces, this pilot will showcase how local energy production can lower costs and create energy resilience in vulnerable neighborhoods. The expected results include:
✔ Reduced energy costs for households in energy-poor areas ✔ Increased adoption of renewable energy solutions in community buildings ✔ Stronger local engagement in energy-saving initiatives ✔ Research-backed best practices for tackling energy poverty through sustainable technologies
