With the energy grid moving from a centralized to a decentralized system, energy communities will play an important role for implementing change in current operative business models. Through OneNET, we are liaising with 69 partners (mainly DSOs and TSOs) to explore how cooperatives can support the implementation of a decentralised energy system.

In REScoop MECISE, six energy cooperatives from 4 EU countries developed renewable energy and energy efficiency projects worth 110 million euro. We also set up innovative approaches to facilitate community energy projects and foster collaborations between cooperatives, local authorities and citizens, and set up REScoop MECISE SCE, a cooperative society that aims to provide financing solutions to members. REScoop.eu was responsible for the overall project communication and dissemination, monitoring the investment portfolio, and developing the financing instrument.
