What do Grammy-winner Sabrina Carpenter and Energy Cities have in common? “Baby I know, That’s that me Espresso.” While one produced a mega-hit called “Espresso” (listen here) getting you into an unstoppable summer mood, the other one (us) has got this irresistible Espresso training that wants you to learn more (and more and more) about sun, wind and other forms of community energy. The good news is that you don’t need to wait for Summer to get your shot of caffeine! Several new Espresso courses are to be launched in the next months.
Energy Cities’ Espresso training is for civil servants in municipalities all over Europe who want to better grasp the concept of community energy, to understand the very basics of how to support, finance or promote one.
