The support service call is targeted at energy agencies, energy communities and their federations, one-stop-shops, technical assistance facilities, and/or integrated home renovation service providers, local public authorities, and NGOs. Apply by 9 May 2025!

The support service for citizen-led renovation is an EU initiative aiming to empower existing and prospective energy communities to put citizens in the driver’s seat for energy-saving renovation projects. It will help communities overcome financial, legal, technical, and informational barriers to delivering future-proof residential buildings.

The selected support services will enable a favourable environment for the creation of citizen-led renovation collectives and provide assistance to ensure the concrete implementation of their energy renovation projects.
