Generating Equity, Nurturing Diversity, Energising Resilience 4 Power Against Energy Poverty
GENDER4POwer aims to improve energy efficiency and living conditions for energy-poor households through a gender-responsive, community-driven approach, enhancing participation and policy insights across Europe.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The GENDER4POwer project aims to enhance living conditions and energy efficiency in buildings (and households) affected by energy poverty. It emphasizes a holistic gender-responsive, multi-stakeholder, and people-centred approach to renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions, aligning with EU strategies such as the Gender Equality Strategy and the Energy Efficiency Directive.
Objectives
GENDER4POwer aspires to demonstrate the potential of gender-responsive projects in meeting EU strategies. By incorporating gender mainstreaming and intersectionality and by involving citizens, the project aims to:
- Enhance public acceptance and community trust
- Bridge social networks
- Ensure active participation of marginalized groups in decision-making processes
Work Packages
GENDER4POwer will achieve its objectives through a set of 7 Work Packages, structured around 6 demonstration sites that aim to reduce energy vulnerability through:
- Renovation
- Specific energy efficiency measures
- Renewable energy production
The project emphasizes capacity building and skills enhancement programs to ensure active participation and multi-stakeholder collaboration. It will also provide policy insights and recommendations for both national and European contexts, aiming to scale up and accelerate tested and established schemes.
Partnership
The project brings together 9 partners from six countries across Europe (Slovenia, Lithuania, Austria, Greece, Spain, and Germany) with expertise in:
- Social sciences
- Citizen engagement
- Energy communities
- Gender equality
- Renewable energy use
- Renovation
- Policy advocacy
This multidisciplinary expertise helps to implement a comprehensive, cross-cutting gender approach to selected energy poverty solutions, grounded in the needs and experiences of local citizens.
Methodologies
The project will develop comprehensive and intersectional approaches to promote social and gender justice in addressing energy poverty by creating tailored methodologies for the local, national, and EU contexts.
Awareness and Engagement
In addition, it will enhance shared understanding and awareness of:
- Energy poverty
- Energy efficiency
- Gender and social justice considerations
This aims to foster a sense of self-reliance and engagement in sustainable solutions. The project will carry out replicable, citizen-driven initiatives for renewable energy and renovation solutions that uplift the living standards of energy-poor households while simultaneously empowering communities.
Recommendations and Outreach
The consortium will collaboratively develop and widely disseminate a comprehensive set of practical gender-responsive recommendations derived from project insights and input from all stakeholders, with particular emphasis on the perspectives of those directly affected by energy poverty.
Finally, we will develop inclusive and gender-responsive outreach plans that comprehensively support the dissemination, exploitation, and long-term sustainability of the project outcomes, thereby generating solid interest and promoting the scalability of the project to address energy poverty in the six demonstrators and beyond.
