Cities are on the front line of the energy transition. They are also where energy poverty is most visible.


In this episode of Energ’Ethic, Marine Cornelis talks with Dr Eduardo Blanco (https://www.linkedin.com/in/eduardo-blanco-222a0b63/) from Energy Cities, coordinator of the POWER UP (https://www.socialenergyplayers.eu) project.


The episode covers:
Social energy players and new local business models
Municipal leadership and public risk-taking
Neighbourhood-scale solutions
Concrete lessons from European pilot cities


Eduardo explains why building fair energy systems looks less like engineering and more like embroidery. Slow, precise and deeply human.


Energ' Ethic goes out every other week.
