The 14th Citizens’ Energy Forum will take place in Dublin, Ireland. Citizens’ interest groups, NGOs, businesses and policy makers (ministries and regulators) will provide their input on energy consumer issues in the current energy crisis.
Compared to previous editions, this forum will feature an enhanced citizen focus, taking stock of the actions of individuals and local actors to help citizens prepare for the difficult winter ahead, and considering what can be further done once the winter starts. The forum will focus on middle-income and low-income consumers and on solutions that they can have access to.
Back to back with the forum, two half-day events for specialised audiences at the EU and local level will take place: a regulatory roundtable, co-organised with energy regulators, and a citizen workshop in Ireland, co-organised with the Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers.
The forum will be live webstreamed with the possibility for the audience to engage through Sli.do, where active participation will be facilitated through polls, citizen testimonies, inspiring examples of consumer actions and lively discussions in breakout groups.
Registration for participation onsite is now closed, but the event will be live-streamed in DG ENER’s YouTube channel.
Background
The Forum aims to facilitate the exchange on supporting policies, measures and practical solutions to help protect consumers from high energy prices and control their energy bills among representations of consumers, policy makers and local actors.
