Programme nearbyEnergyBrasiliaWeigh Brazil's energy transition at SESI LabWeigh Brazil's energy transition at SESI Lab Each cycle SESI Lab picks one transversal theme and runs it through exhibitions, educational activities, teacher training, publications, and technical partnerships. For 2025 and 2026 that theme is energy and the energy transition, which turns the museum on the Monumental Axis into a public room for working out how Brazil powers itself. What you can do - See which energy exhibitions and activities are running now on Exposições and the daily programação - Read the free digital curation Eficiência Energética: Aerogeradores, which connects electricity, renewable sources, and the form and function of a wind turbine - Walk the permanent Imaginando Futuros gallery, built to make visitors question the choices and decisions that shape the future (acervo digital) - Watch for the free course for education professionals on energy and sustainability, and for Night Lab evenings that take up the annual theme How it works The theme travels through the whole programme rather than sitting in one room. The interactive show Energia, Sou Watt? placed visitors at ten stations balancing economic growth, social justice, and environmental protection while deciding policy on nuclear power, mobility, production, and housing; it closed on 7 September, so treat it as a format to ask for rather than a live ticket. The Festival Energia brought five free public panels to Brasília: energy scenarios and transition, science communication and the climate emergency, decarbonisation and mobility, climate justice and sustainable development, and art and the climate emergency. Why it matters An energy transition is settled by people who can picture the trade-offs. A museum that hands you the dilemma instead of the conclusion builds exactly the civic muscle that climate policy runs on.energytransitionclimate +2

Why it matters Copying a neighbour's working retrofit is faster than inventing one from scratch, and a shared, searchable map turns scattered good examples into a movement.campaignenergyberlin +1
Programme nearbyEnergyBudapestSolar open-home afternoonShow neighbours your panels and battery setup Hungary leads Europe in rooftop solar adoption, the next step is sharing know-how block by block. On panel estates, households mount modest PV on balconies or shared roofs (not only high-tech farm arrays). Host an informal open-home afternoon: walk through the inverter cupboard, compare legalisation steps, and fill the short storage grant form together over tea. What you can do - Solar hosts: pick one Saturday, invite the stairwell or street, and post a paper sign in the lobby - Curious neighbours: bring your last electricity bill and ask about 10 kWh+ storage sizing and net-metering timelines - Block captains: compile a shared list of trusted installers and co-op paperwork so nobody repeats the same mistakes How it works The home storage programme supports batteries of at least 10 kWh, inverter swaps, metering upgrades, and even phase expansion, but many families stall on paperwork. Peer demos on a prefab block turn abstract grants into something you can touch from your own balcony. Why it matters Solar spreads faster on trust than on ads, one honest tour on a familiar concrete tower can unlock a whole roofline.solarbatterymutual-aid +2
Programme nearbyCommunityBudapestRenovation neighbour brigadePool paperwork help for home energy retrofits The energetikai otthonfelújítási program offers families up to 6 million forint (grant plus interest-free loan) for retrofits that cut energy use by at least 30%, insulation, new windows, or heating upgrades on houses built through 2006. Paperwork stops many people before they start. A neighbour brigade pairs one experienced volunteer with two or three households: energy certificate, MFB Pont Plusz appointment, and contractor quotes in one shared calendar. What you can do - Retirees or engineers: volunteer two hours a week to walk neighbours through the simplified document list - Street WhatsApp groups: batch-book energy auditors, group rates are common - Small-town families: combine with the rural home renovation programme when you live outside Budapest, one brigade, two grant paths How it works Brigades do not replace professionals; they remove friction. Loan applications run in person at Lakossági MFB Pont Plusz branches until the framework is exhausted (latest March 2027). Gas-boiler installs are no longer eligible, focus on insulation and heat pumps. Why it matters Warm homes should not depend on who already knows the form, mutual aid closes the gap.renovationenergymutual-aid +2
Starter ideaEnergyViennaBalcony Solar NetworkBulk-buy balcony solar with your neighbours Connect with people in your building to research plug-in panels, share mounting help, and walk the Vienna registration steps together before anyone plugs in. What you can do - Host a roof or courtyard info session so neighbours compare kit specs side by side - Read the Wiener Netze balcony rules and register your Kleinsterzeugungsanlage (up to 800 W) before operating - Check the city balcony-module notes: Vienna does not subsidise balcony kits; city grants target fixed plants over 1 kWp with their own metering point - If your building wants to share rooftop generation beyond plug-in kits, book free energy-community advice from the Klima- und Innovationsagentur Wien (templates also at energiegemeinschaften.gv.at) How it works Austria treats plug-in balcony kits as Kleinsterzeugungsanlagen (max 800 W). Wiener Netze has two weeks after registration to check or swap the meter; Schuko / Schutzkontaktstecker connections are not allowed. After that, households on the same facade can split delivery and mounting. Larger shared plants belong in an Energiegemeinschaft, not a balcony kit. Vendor-neutral detail also lives at erneuerbare-energie.wien. Why it matters Collective buying lowers cost and fear of the unknown. Neighbours who compare kits and paperwork together are the ones who actually get panels on the railing.solarenergycollective
