Roma Capitale has renewed its commitment to helping citizens reduce their energy expenditure with Informa Energia, the mobile counter dedicated to information and free support on energy savings, domestic consumption and bills.
After the success of the first edition, the service restarted with its second phase on 20 April and will continue until 30 October, returning directly to the neighbourhoods to reach citizens in their municipalities. A camper equipped as an information desk is retracing the 15 Municipalities of Rome Capital, stopping every week in central and accessible spaces such as local markets, squares and public services.
In this second edition, Roma Capitale continues to make use of the support of AISFOR and RETE ASSIST, to which is added the collaboration with Banco dell’Energia.
On board the camper there are the Domestic Energy Tutors (TED): qualified experts who offer free advice and concrete support on highly topical issues, from the analysis and reading of energy bills to access to social bonuses, from strategies to reduce domestic consumption to subsidies for installing solar systems or replacing inefficient appliances, up to the opportunities offered by energy communities. All accompanied by the distribution of information materials on the various issues.
In this second edition, with the arrival of the hot season, the desk focuses in particular on the phenomenon of summer energy poverty, offering information and support dedicated to the difficulties related to the hottest months: an issue that is often underestimated but which hits the most vulnerable sections of the population hard.
The initiative has already received an important recognition in the field: during one of the first stops, the camper received a visit from the Mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri, confirming the administration’s attention to the work carried out in the area.
After the summer break, the service will restart on Monday 14 September from Municipio IX, bringing free support and advice to the citizens of the Laurentino district.
