EcoVision is delighted to announce its progression in the next phase of the European Citizen-Led Renovation (CLR) Enablers Project. A Europe-wide initiative focused on empowering communities to take the lead in home energy renovations.
Now entering its third phase, the project explores how citizen-led renovation can be developed and expanded across Europe. As an Enabler, EcoVision will work directly with local community organisations, known as CLR Collectives, such as Kantoher Development Group (Limerick), Galway Energy Co-operative, and Killeedy Community Housing Association (Limerick).
Each community group is at a different stage of its retrofit journey, and tailored training will be provided to help them build the skills and confidence needed to bring local homes forward for renovation. These groups will act as local coordinators, equipped to guide homeowners through the process and connect them with available supports and expertise.
EcoVision will act as technical backbone and facilitator for four CLR collectives, providing: Home energy audits and retrofit design. Grant and finance support, including bridging loans. Training for CLR Ambassadors to guide peers locally. Capacity building (45+ hours/year) and communications support. Data collection, case studies and replication of the CLR model nationally. The goal is to start the renovation journey with at least 40 homes by 2027, train eight ambassadors, and help each collective develop a sustainable business model for long-term citizen-led renovation.
