More than 50 million households in the European Union are struggling to attain adequate warmth, pay their utility bills on time and live in damp and mold-free homes, according to the EU Energy poverty observatory. The situation is especially grave in parts of the CEE region, where 41,3% of Bulgarians (regional “champions”) were unable to keep their homes adequately warm in 2016 and 39% risked poverty or social exclusion.
Coping with the energy deprivation problem, quite a few governmental, local and private campaigns are underway in EU countries. One of them is The Social Innovation to Tackle Energy Poverty Solutions Accelerator, an initiative co-created by Ashoka international organization and the Schneider Electric Foundation, under the aegis of Fondation de France, with Enel Romania as local partner.
The aim of the program is to identify and support young innovative ideas and mature projects in the field of energy poverty in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. After two selection stages 15 finalists were picked up to join a 5-months acceleration program, meant to help them improve their projects so as to amplify their positive social and environmental impact.
After the final selection phase, one winner was chosen for each of the five European countries. Each of the winning projects, announced in Brussels on December 2, will receive a prize of € 3,500 and additional mentoring support.
