To reach the EU’s climate goals, a significant increase in renewable energy is required. Many people can also directly benefit from this shift to 100% renewables. Public support to help citizens install renewables has primarily been utilised by wealthy households to put solar panels on the roof of their homes. But for renewables to reach their full potential, it is vital that their benefits reach households living in rented accommodation or in buildings with multiple homes as well. Expanding support specifically for vulnerable people will not only help increase renewables production, but will also help those most affected by high prices for fossil fuels by allowing them to make significant financial savings.
