There are several tools and mechanism that can support local governments in the creation of energy communities.

The EU-funded project LIFE-BECKON has developed three tools, which are:

  • the technical assistance cookbook, which includes practical advice on legal and administrative procedures, communication and financing
  • the capacity building programme which provides training and capacity-building opportunities to local authorities, citizens and businesses
  • the online one-stop-shop platform which provides a range of services which have been tested in three pilot cities (Copenhagen, Sofia, and Diputación de Àvila).
