#WastedMoney 💸 Europe spent €46 billion on gas subsidies in 2022 alone. Money that could have been used to cover nearly one third of the investment needed to make Europe's buildings energy efficient ➕ climate resilient. #RightToEnergy #StopEnergyPoverty

We joined the Jolt this morning to give our two cents on the draft Action Plan for Affordable Energy: ❌ We see a plan that mostly benefits industry ❌ We see a missed opportunity for supporting people who need it most We are keeping our eyes peeled for next week 👀 #EndEnergyPoverty #RightToEnergy

Over the past year a volatile energy market has wreaked havoc upon the livelihoods of people in Europe, while Big Energy companies were raking in billions.

This is the direct result of leaving access to energy in the hands of the market.

The top 10% of global energy consumers currently use around 30 times more energy than the bottom 10%.

We urgently need fair energy savings plans which can reduce the energy consumption gap

Energy use connects inequality and climate change - here's how

To maintain decent living standards in a safe climate, the gap in energy use between the world’s lowest/highest consumers must reduce eight-fold by 2050.

Energy now costs month’s wages for low paid

The average annual energy bill is now more than a month’s wages for low paid workers in the majority of EU member states, an analysis for the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) has found. Some 9.5 million people in work already had difficulties paying their energy bills before the cost-of-living crisis began. By July this year the cost of gas and electricity had risen by 38% across Europe compared to last year and the cost keeps rising.

For over a year the energy crisis has hit badly families and small businesses in Europe.

In the meanwhile, big energy corporations and fossil fuel companies have been making record profits!

This must end!
