Energy Poverty Advisory Hub (EPAH) Annual Conference 2026

Athens is welcoming the Energy Poverty Advisory Hub (EPAH) for their Annual Conference 2026. Hosted by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Energy in collaboration with the City of Athens and the local EPAH antenna INZEB, this flagship event represents a significant date in the energy and social policy calendar, bringing together European policymakers, local governments, and practitioners committed to tackling energy poverty as a structural challenge.

The 2026 edition aims to facilitate high-level exchange and networking amongst professionals exploring people-centered solutions for vulnerable households. The comprehensive programme is designed to showcase the latest developments and actionable strategies in the field, featuring in-person and hybrid panel discussions, as well as a dedicated collaborative workshop titled "From Policy to Practice: Co-Creating Solutions for Energy-Poor Households."

Beyond the presentation of policy frameworks, the meeting fulfills the Hub’s core mission to accelerate concrete actions for those most in need. Supported by co-hosts like EU Peers, the Covenant of Mayors, and the Citizen-Led Renovation initiative, it serves as a vital platform for local authorities, One-Stop Shops, and energy communities to cultivate connections and discuss the future of equitable energy access and renovations.

We look forward to hosting the delegates in Athens for what promises to be a productive and insightful assembly.
