Different pathways to energy communities: insights from system mapping
System mapping of four European cases uncovers distinct pathways to energy cooperation, helping practitioners design context-specific approaches rather than replicate fixed models.
Are energy communities at the heart of Europe’s building and energy transitions?
Energy communities are reshaping participation in Europe’s energy system, from renewable projects to collective self-consumption. Under the revised EPBD and the Citizens’ Energy Package, buildings are emerging as hubs for collective participation and decarbonisation.
Neiskorišteni potencijal energetskih zajednica
Energetske zajednice mogu zgrade pretvoriti iz pasivnih potrošača u aktivne sudionike u energetskom sustavu, smanjujući troškove, jačajući otpornost i ubrzavajući lokalnu dekarbonizaciju kroz zajedničko djelovanje.
Citizen-led renovation in practice: from typology-based solutions to scalable implementation
Discover how typology-based renovation pathways and community-driven models can help building professionals deliver scalable, cost-effective, and socially inclusive renovation projects across Europe.
The EU’s Citizens’ Energy Package: a house built on quicksand?
Discover what the Citizens’ Energy Package (CEP) really means for your projects: lower bills, empowered consumers, clearer rules, and new opportunities for community energy and energy‑efficiency investment.
Empowering local authorities to accelerate energy communities: the LIFE-BECKON support framework
From fragmented initiatives to scalable models, the LIFE-BECKON framework equips local authorities with the tools, knowledge and partnerships needed to unlock the full potential of energy communities (ECs).
MASTERPIECE: Supporting the energy community journey through digital tools
The MASTERPIECE project demonstrates how digital tools can support energy communities (ECs) at different stages of the EC journey, helping citizens and local actors move from awareness to operation through real life pilot experiences across Europe.
Razširjanje energetskih skupnosti v Sloveniji: Energetski sveženj za državljane in trenutne državne sheme
Ali lahko Energetski sveženj za državljane (angl. Energy Package) in prihajajoče sheme souporabe energije v Sloveniji pomagajo razširiti energetske skupnosti iz pilotnih projektov v širšo lokalno infrastrukturo?
Heat highways and thermal storage take centre stage at Linz District Heating Forum 2026
The Linz District Heating Forum 2026 highlighted the role of large-scale thermal storage and 'heat highways' in decarbonising heating. With strong input from the TREASURE project, experts presented technologies, case studies, and strategies shaping future district heating systems.
Regional and local energy agencies: boosting energy communities through open energy governance
Regional and local energy agencies are the implementation drivers of the energy transition, supporting a locally rooted approach that benefits citizens and strengthens the EU’s energy independence.
