The Fit for 55 package and 2021 recast EPBD proposal stress the importance of energy poverty alleviation. Despite welcoming the increasing attention of the Commission for energy poverty, critics point at the need for a more comprehensive and tailored coverage of energy poverty in EU policy. Hosted by the MEP Ciaran Cuffe, ComAct organised a Policy Roundtable in Brussels with policymakers from the EU and Central and Eastern Europe to discuss the ongoing revision of the recast EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive) proposal.
The roundtable focused on how the EPBD can better reflect the multi-faceted nature of energy poverty and ensure effective energy poverty alleviation in multi-families apartment buildings in the CEE region and scale-up renovation of these buildings.
