The Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat is an initiative on behalf of the European Commission to help islands drive a community-owned clean energy transition. The Secretariat provides technical support, capacity-building services and networking opportunities to EU islands.
Service contract with the European Commission (DG ENER).
In close collaboration with Stefan Scheuer Consulting and the Coalition for Energy Savings, we set up a policy working group on energy efficiency and citizen led renovation, and provided advocacy expertise for feeding into the European policy debate on the topic.

FLEXCoop provides energy cooperatives with innovative tools to operate dynamic Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) in order to achieve a stable and balanced energy grid. As part of the project, we developed a tool-suite for energy cooperatives working on demand-response. REScoop.eu is in charge of the overall communication of the project and successfully set up a working group on flexibility within the association.

WiseGRID provided a set of solutions and technologies to increase the smartness, stability and security of an open and consumer-centred European energy grid. The project combined and enhanced the use of storage technologies, supported RES penetration and the integration of charging infrastructure to favour the large-scale deployment of electric vehicles.

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.

CITYnvest focused on supporting and replicating successful innovative financing models for energy retrofits in public buildings. The consortium developed finance models based on energy performance contracting, third party financing, revolving funds and cooperatives. REScoop.eu provided two in-depth case studies of how cooperatives can team up with local authorities to finance energy efficiency measures in public buildings.

The project REScoop 20-20-20 (Intelligent Energy Europe) supported the start-up of 12 new energy cooperatives by means of a toolbox for starters and a network of mentors. The project resulted in the creation of the European federation of citizen energy cooperatives, REScoop.eu.
Intelligent Energy Europe - Contract number IEE/11/930
The project aimed at creating community-owned energy projects all over Europe where they own and are actively involved in running an energy resource. As a result of this project, the Community Power Coalition was founded in 2016. Today, the coalition is still working for a socially fair energy transformation putting people and communities in the center of it.
WISE Power project worked on improving local support for wind turbines, and local community participation in the planning of wind energy projects.
In this project, we support members in 7 EU Member States (France, Portugal, Greece, Poland, Italy, Belgium and The Netherlands) with the transposition of the Clean Energy Package, particularly when it comes to implementing good definitions for energy communities and providing enabling frameworks.
