Sustainable Planning and Resilience Knowledge Learning Environment (SPARKLE) is a pioneering capacity building program that will equip over 600 Local and Regional Authorities (LRA) with the skills, capacity, tools, support and inspiration they need to successfully develop and implement their clean energy transition.
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.
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.
The Smart Community-Owned Renewable Energy project (SmartCORE) aims to provide integral energy management capabilities to energy communities in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Luxembourg and Ireland.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
On behalf of ESPON, the ESPON TANDEM project aims to build the most comprehensive, pan-European database of energy communities to synergise with existing surveying initiatives at national and EU level. The survey results will also be used to develop regional-based, policy recommendations on how to tackle barriers and create enabling frameworks for energy communities across Europe.
