The EU Support Service for Citizen-Led Renovation (CLR) has launched a new call for enablers, offering funding to five additional organizations to support citizen-driven energy renovation projects across Europe. This initiative empowers local energy communities, one-stop shops, and public authorities to take the lead in scaling up sustainable home renovations.

In early 2025, the ManagEnergy Master Class brought together 28 professionals from 14 EU countries to explore the design and implementation of One-Stop Shops (OSS) for home renovation.

Great participation and interest marked the workshop organized by EU-Peers on March 7, 2025, as part of the Key Energy fair in Rimini, the leading event in Italy for sustainable energy.

On February 14, the Hungarian EU-Peers community gathered for its fourth meeting organized by Energiaklub. The session brought together 16 participants, including OSS providers, as well as experts in finance, research, and policy.

With three meetings held so far—one in person and two online—the group is focused on advancing energy-efficient renovations through collaboration, advocacy, and practical solutions.
