Exhibition "Energy for the People"
10:30 AM to 16:00 PM in front of the "da Vinci 2" hall in Grand Hotel Millennium, 89B Vitosha Blvd., 1463 Sofia
After being displayed at the European Parliament building, the exhibition “Energy for the People” is coming to Bulgaria to tell the stories of people across Europe who are looking for ways to make not only their own households, but also their communities and neighborhoods energy independent. Nearly a half of all Bulgarians live in energy poverty. Across Europe, the number of energy poor people is about 50 million. Energy poverty has many faces. It sometimes goes beyond the struggle to pay the bills at the end of the month. Some households cannot heat their homes; other families cannot afford to cook or provide the light they need. "Energy for the People” looks at these problems, but also offers solutions.
The admission is free.
