Faidra Filippidou on "Measurement and mapping of energy poverty in Europe"

Dr. Faidra Filippidou focuses on the energy-saving and decarbonization potential of building stocks, renewable heating and cooling, and the interface of energy demand and supply. Prior to joining E3-Modelling, she worked at Delft University of Technology and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.

Webinar contents: 

• Energy poverty across EU Member States
• The case study of Greece 
• Official statistics and the use of modelling tools

Webinar learning outcomes:

The most valued outcome for the participants is the ability to understand the phenomenon of energy poverty, how it relates to official statistics, and how we can use models to design just policies.

Webinar aims: 

The aim of this webinar is to understand and examine the phenomenon of energy poverty across EU Member States. We will try to analyze those parameters leading to energy poverty and how can it be measured. We will also examine closely the case study of Greece as an example.

Prerequisites for the webinar: 

• Understanding of energy and climate policy 
• Basic statistics
