What's next?
The three partners are currently in the process of documenting and researching energy communities, focusing on local contexts, identifying key literature, carrying out interviews with experts, relevant stakeholders, etc.
Key contents resulting from this activity will be uploaded to an online training platform, which will be active (that is, online forums will be moderated, and questions answered) from mid-July 2022 until April 2023. Afterwards, contents will be open for anyone interested in learning about energy communities.
A first in-person workshop will be held in each of the countries in September 2022. Exact dates and programme will be announced on due time.
