Italian Community of Practice

Who We Are & Our Mission
The Italian EU Peers Community brings together 50 active members from 35 institutions across all governance levels - national, regional, and local authorities. Co-coordinated by ENEA (Italian National Energy Agency) and Regione Piemonte, members share a common goal: deepening knowledge and building a robust network around one-stop shops for residential building renovation. We aim to enlarge our community by connecting stakeholders involved in ENEA and Regione Piemonte projects, including Covenant of Mayors and Net Zero Cities activities, positioning ourselves as opinion leaders for policymakers defining OSS regulation in Italy.

How We Work Together
Our community progresses through qualitative experience exchange on different one-stop shop models. HumHub provides a dedicated space for sharing experiences, networking, and accessing our National Repository containing all meeting materials. In our first community year, we organised six meetings and capacity-building activities engaging 156 participants, addressing topics like multilevel governance and digital tools (Milan, November 2024), OSS models from EED and EPBD directives (Rimini, March 2025), and policy recommendations (online, July 2025).

Highlights & Impact
Our workshop at Key Energy 2025 in Rimini marked a significant milestone, identifying critical priorities: improving data interoperability, supporting vulnerable groups, strengthening operator training, aggregating demand, and ensuring widespread territorial coverage. We showcase inspiring examples through the EU Peers' "Who is Who" series, featuring initiatives like "Sportello Energia Piemonte" and Milan's "Deciwatt service." By uniting public administrations, energy agencies, and private OSS providers, we create comprehensive knowledge positioning Italy to effectively implement EU directives linked to building renovation.
