We talked to two guests to guide us through some of the basics for energy communities: how to get started, the different types of financing, how to make a bankable financial plan etc.  Jim Williame is from the Belgian citizen cooperative Ecopower and Ronald Korpershoek from Rabobank. Both know quite a bit about money and where a community-owned renewables project can find it.
