Energy communities & cities: the path to establishing new roles & potentials in local communities

This webinar organised by the European Heat Pump Association will question how do we accelerate, boost and scale up the energy communities and what is the role of the local authorities in the process.
 

• How can the local authorities be more involved in, how can they broker and leverage the creation of community energy projects?
• What are the conditions under which city to citizen partnerships can become the backbone of this new governance model for the energy transition?
• What do the different partners need to bring to the table, what are the framework conditions under which energy communities thrive?

Speakers:

• Els Struiving, Representative of the Energy Community “Buurtwarmte Paddepoel”
• Bob D’Haeseleer, Alderman, City of Eeklo
• Judith Neyer, Senior Expert, Energy. Centre, Urban Innovation Vienna
