Every1: Enable eVeryone's Engagemet in the eneRgY transitiON

Every1 makes a detailed and data-informed assessment to understand the needs, barriers, and readiness level of different actors such as DSOs, cities, (future) connected active consumers, energy communities or potential new entrants, and local/regional authorities in local ecosystems to use digital solutions. Based on this assessment, specific learning paths and dedicated co-created information, engagement, and bespoke capacity building material will be delivered. Targeted guidance on optimisation of ecosystem operation will be developed. Ecosystems will be provided with and engaged in communication and dissemination activities in their local language, guided and supported in developing learning paths, as well as on how to use and adapt the engagement and capacity building material for wider uptake and continued use after the project.

Covenant of Companies for climate and energy (DG ENER)

The Covenant aims to be a community of companies and supporting entities who have made a pledge to reduce their fossil energy footprint.

In English common law, a ‘covenant’ is distinguished from a standard contract by the presence of a wax seal on the agreement, symbolising the elevated sincerity of the commitment of the parties to the covenant.

Our mission statement is quite simple: it is to help companies and numerous supporting entities to decarbonise their energy footprint, by guiding them to define and then implement emissions reduction goals that are manageable, attainable and aligned with their level of ambition.
