Uma Nova Forma de Combater a Pobreza Energética: Aprendizagens da ‘One-Stop Shop’ do Ponto de Transição. / A New Way to Mitigate Energy Poverty: Lessons from the Transition Point ‘One-Stop Shop’ Pilot


Relatório de Impacto já disponível! / Impact report already available.


Entre 2022 e 2023, populações de três concelhos do distrito de Setúbal puderam aceder a serviços de aconselhamento sobre consumo e fatura de eletricidade e gás, informações e apoio à eficiência energética, das habitações, avaliações energéticas gratuitas e apoio à candidatura a vários apoios financeiros existentes.


Esta one-stop shop, instalada num contentor marítimo reutilizado, na sua fase piloto foi promovida pela Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation e realizado em parceria com a ENA - Agência de Energia e Ambiente da Arrábida, nós no CENSE - Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, a RNAE – Associação das Agências de Energia e Ambiente, e as autarquias envolvidas.


Os principais resultados desta experiência podes ser lidos neste relatório de impacto, o qual traz ainda recomendações relevantes para projetos que trabalham no apoio a comunidades de difícil acesso ou que sejam mais vulneráveis, em matéria de consumo energético.

The Transition Point pilot project is an initiative of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Portugal. Operating from a reused shipping container, Transition Point is a ‘one-stop shop’ that offers services to local populations, including advice on electricity and gas, information and support for home energy efficiency, and free energy assessments.


It was implemented in the district of Setúbal, near Lisbon, between 2022 and 2023, in partnership with three other Portuguese entities: the Energy and Environment Agency of Arrábida (ENA), FCT- NOVA University of Lisbon’s Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research (CENSE) and the Association of Energy and Environment Agencies (RNAE).


The initiative provides valuable pointers for projects working with hard-to-reach or vulnerable communities on energy issues. This report presents the key findings and takeaways from the pilot, from setting up to scaling impact and catalysing change.
