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-centered approach to renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions. By incorporating gender mainstreaming and intersectionality and by involving citizens, the project aims to increase public acceptance and community trust, bridge social networks, and ensure active participation of marginalized groups in decision-making processes.
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, and policy advocacy.
The project will create tailored methodologies for the local, national and EU contexts, and carry out replicable, citizen driven initiatives for renewable energy and renovation solutions that uplift the living standards of energy-poor households.
Duration: November 2024 to July 2028
