Citizen Energy Communities: Engaging People and Technologies in the Future of Energy

Hybrid workshop organised as part of the Sustainable Places 2022 conference, held in Nice, France, and online.

This workshop intends to shed light on the importance of engaging people and unlocking the potential of  technologies to promote Energy Communities and meet the EU’s ambition of a joint net-zero emission of  greenhouse gases by the year 2050. To ensure a people-centric, sustainable, just and innovative energy  future, citizens, and experts must be brought into dialogue to co-design new ways of organising around  energy. 

To approach these challenges, four Horizon 2020 sister projects (Creators, LocalRES, Hestia, and  Lightness) will illustrate approaches, strategies, and solutions being tested in different typologies of Energy  Communities. Instead of a techno-centric approach, these projects will present their methods to engage  people and co-design technologies to forward a clean and fair energy transition.

Energy Cities is part of the LocalRES project as responsible for communication and dissemination activities.
