Introducing SocialWatt
A Horizon 2020 project fighting energy poverty

SocialWatt is a Horizon 2020 energy efficiency project, aiming at connecting obligated parties under Article 7 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) across Europe to adopt innovative schemes towards energy poverty alleviation. It started in September 2019 and has a duration of 36 months. 

SocialWatt aims to enable utilities and energy suppliers across Europe to develop, adopt, test and spread innovative schemes to alleviate energy poverty. The appropriate tools developed within the framework of SocialWatt aim to enable utilities and energy suppliers effectively identify energy poor households, as well as develop and monitor schemes that focus on increasing the energy efficiency of these houses.
