Life COMET
Life COMET aims to establish, support and professionalise community energy coalitions at the national level, which will foster exchange and collaboration among energy communities, finally resulting in targeted advocacy efforts.
EU projects
LIFE ACCE
The project LIFE ACCE, which stands for Access to Capital for Community Energy, aims to develop and scale up collective financing tools for energy cooperatives across Europe.
SCCALE 203050
REScoop.eu is the project coordinator of SCCALE 203050, a Horizon 2020 project that aims to develop a set of tools, resources and coaching techniques to support the set-up and operation of energy communities. The project aims to strengthen the collaboration between energy cooperatives and local authorities including cities and municipalities.
LIFE LOOP
LIFE LOOP aims to empower local and regional governments, local citizens and other stakeholders to work together to develop and achieve community energy objectives through new partnerships and projects.
AquaCOM
AquaCom aims to enable the uptake of small-scale aquathermal heating and cooling systems by energy communities in North-West Europe, through the development of a replicable governance and technical model, and the organisation of a series of targeted training and capacity-building activities.
One Stop Renovation Co-op
The One Stop Renovation Co-op (OSR-Coop) project, funded by the LIFE Programme of the European Union, aims to further the development and piloting of cooperative one-stop-shop (OSS) building renovation services to transform them into integrated services with a focus on deep renovation for households.
European Energy Communities Facility
The European Energy Communities Facility aims to empower and support energy communities across Europe. This EU project, coordinated by REScoop.eu, will help at least 140 energy communities develop solid business plans for their renewable energy projects through lump sum grants and tailored capacity building efforts.
SocialNRG
Energy poverty continues to
affect many households across Europe, with current solutions often
limited to short-term financial relief or social tariffs. The SOCIALNRG
project aims to address these issues by developing and testing a new,
adaptable approach in three pilot social housing communities in
Slovenia, Italy, and Belgium.
Citizen-Led Renovation (III)
Project funded by the European Climate Foundation to develop and replicate citizen-led renovation initiatives, as well as community district heating and cooling systems. For a period of 12 months, it will contribute to the EU’s objective of reducing 55% greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
LIFE_LETsGO4Climate
Seizing the opportunity of the new definitions in the Clean Energy Package, LetsGo4Climate aims at elaborating functional methodologies to involve citizens into Citizen Energy Communities with the active involvement of local authorities.
Under the leadership of the region Centre-Val-de-Loire, this project involves a complete set of actors from the energy system aiming at fostering public engagement. REScoop.eu will work together with its member Energie Partagée to develop an engagement methodology and to bridge the project with other EU initiatives and cooperatives.
CEES
A growing number of energy cooperatives are trying to alleviate energy poverty, bringing forward innovative schemes and business models. CEES aims to identify the existing best practices and wants to build a narrative around this important challenge. REScoop.eu is in charge of communication and EU policy work.
Energy Communities Repository
Launched by the European Commission and coordinated by REScoop.eu, the Energy Communities Repository aims to support and monitor energy communities’ activities across Europe, within the framework of a just transition to climate neutrality that allows citizens to take control of energy consumption and production.
