Powering communities: principles for a fair, sustainable Citizens’ Energy Package

Community energy projects are essential for driving a fair and just energy transition, offering a concrete way for citizens, communities, and SMEs to actively participate and benefit. To unlock their full transformative potential, these projects must be prioritized through supportive policies, targeted resources, and strong enforcement mechanisms. This will ensure that their benefits reach all citizens, fostering resilient and equitable societies. The Citizens’ Energy Package presents a unique opportunity to turn this vision into reality by promoting broader participation and inclusion in the energy transition.
