Energy tables to fight energy poverty in Cadiz

The city of Cádiz is addressing social and economic challenges through the facilitation of a participatory energy transition process. In May 2015, a citizen’s coalition was elected in the municipal government. One of the goals of the new government was to support the energy transition as a way to increase sustainable use of resources but also promote social equity, fight energy poverty and create employment opportunities. The new municipal government developed various activities and projects such as the “Energy Tables”, roundtables enabling the active participation of citizens in energy-related issues.
