This project is funded by the EU.
On 20 April in Brussels, the European Commission launched the Energy Communities Repository, an initiative aimed at supporting and monitoring energy communities’ activities across Europe. The Repository will support the Member States, citizens, local authorities, companies and financial institutions in engaging with energy communities within the framework of the European Green Deal and the EU Climate Pact. Citizens and communities have also a role to play in improving Europe’s energy security by taking an active role in the energy transition and energy markets.
The Florence School of Regulation (FSR), led by the Climate Area, participates in the consortium implementing the Repository and will be responsible for monitoring the transposition of the Clean Energy Package in the Member States, supporting the preparation of policy and regulatory reports and organising a policy dialogue. FSR will work together with the partners of the initiative REScoop.eu (lead), Energy Cities, FEDARENE and Akaryon.
The Repository will provide policy analysis and insights for policymakers, regulators and financial institutions, support energy communities through technical assistance and training, and gather data on their development at the EU level.
With access to secure, sustainable, and affordable energy being at the centre of attention today in Europe, energy communities represent one of the solutions to this crisis.
