Scaling up energy communities in Bulgaria

Community energy is key to a decarbonised economy and a crucial step in tackling climate change. This is about more than windmills and solar panels. Community energy can help find a new balance between local economies and the global economy. The EU has set the direction, but with the Bulgarian transposition of its Renewable Directive being late, fast action is urgently required. Community energy leads to energy democracy, holding the promise of an economy and society based on co-operation rather than competition, within the boundaries of planet earth.
