1. What role can the EU Energy Poverty Observatory play in addressing European energy poverty?
Dr Harriet Thomson

2. Why do we need an Observatory?
EESC first called for an Observatory in 2013
Growing recognition and integration of energy poverty policy in the activities of EU institutions
Extensive network of stakeholders active on the subject
Lack of focused monitoring, reporting and understanding
Support ambitions of the Clean Energy policy package
