Community energy
Fair economiesOn 21st June the European Commission’s Energy Communities Repository will be launching an open call for energy communities in Europe to apply for a range of technical support.
The energy community can be at any stage of development, whether it’s an informal group of local people wanting to do community energy projects, or whether it’s a legal entity that has already developed projects but needs support to do more.
The potential assistance available includes direct support through the provision of community development, technical, financial or legal experts, capacity-building workshops in small groups, peer learning from other energy communities, and EU-wide capacity building webinars.
The Repository will provide technical support to energy communities whose activities are primarily in urban areas. For rural communities, a second initiative, the Rural Energy Communities Advisory Hub, will be providing tailored technical assistance. The two programmes will be working closely together and an internal transfer of energy communities is feasible upon agreement depending on expressed needs.
To find out more join the launch webinar at 10am CEST on 21st June! Register here.
