Are you passionate about trying to create change towards a better future for your community?

Community energy enables citizens, municipalities, and local organisations to jointly develop their own renewable energy generation and usage projects – ensuring that the benefits remain within the local community.

During this four-hour workshop, we will systematically present the key foundations of a successful community energy project:

• What community energy is and why it works – practical examples and the core characteristics of successful initiatives.
• Governance and organisational models – how to establish a fair, transparent, and long-term stable collaboration structure.
• Financing options – community investment, grants, blended funding models, and the importance of local ownership.
• Legal framework – the basic legal aspects to consider when setting up a project.
• First steps and feasibility – how to assess whether an idea is realistic and how to get started.

The workshop is intended for active individuals, municipalities, local initiatives, and organisations that wish to develop a concrete community energy project or explore the possibilities of launching their own initiative.

No prior knowledge is required – motivation to collaborate and co-create local solutions is what matters most.

If you are thinking about how to accelerate the energy transition in your area while strengthening your local community, this workshop is a practical first step.
Join us and discover how an idea can become a feasible and long-term sustainable community project!
