The Support Service for Citizen-led Renovation (CLR) is an EU initiative funded by the European Parliament and DG ENER. It is designed to put citizens in control of energy-saving renovation projects. Unlike traditional public actions, CLRs are bottom-up initiatives based on open participation and effective governance.
Scaling Up:
We're expanding our network to include ten organizations (energy agencies, one-stop shops, energy communities, and associations) to support widespread citizen-led renovation. Five enablers are already onboard, and we're seeking five more to guide citizens and energy communities in implementing building energy renovations effectively.
Your Role:
As one of the five additional enablers, you'll:
- Provide tailored support to citizen-led renovation initiatives, including technical guidance, financial advice, and project management.
- Assist communities in developing strategies and business models and accessing resources for sustainable building renovations.
- Foster local ecosystems that support citizen-led initiatives.
- Strengthen local capacities through training sessions, workshops, and ongoing support.
- Facilitate knowledge sharing and dissemination of best practices across Europe.
- Scale and replicate successful local projects to amplify their impact.
Who Can Apply?
Applicants must be based in an EU Member State and belong to one of these categories:
- Energy community networks or federations
- Energy agencies
- One-stop-shops, technical assistance facilities, or integrated home renovation service providers
- Local public authorities
- NGOs (consumer associations, environmental organizations, think tanks)
