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.
What is Citizen-Led Renovation?
Unlike traditional renovation programs, CLR puts citizens at the centre, and gives them the control: The selected enablers will support them, and they will act as facilitators, providing the technical, financial, and strategic support that communities need to overcome key renovation challenges.
Who Can Apply?
Eligible applicants must be based in an EU Member State and belong to one of the following categories:
o Energy agencies
o One-stop shops & integrated home renovation service providers
o Energy community networks/federations
o Local public authorities (regions, provinces, medium to large municipalities)
o NGOs (consumer associations, environmental organizations, think tanks)
