Save the Date: European Energy Communities Forum and General Assembly 2025

This year’s annual European Energy Communities Forum will take place in Kraków, Poland, on 20-22 May 2025, during Poland’s six-month presidency of the European Council.

Inspired by Kraków’s historic St. Mary’s Tower trumpet call – a symbol of collective strength and readiness – the Forum will be a call to action, to reshape energy systems, empower citizens, and ensure a just transition.

We're teaming up with our Polish partner CoopTech Hub, to ignite conversations and inspire action, during a three-day event full of workshops, exchanges, and activities.

We’ll meet, discuss and strategise on ways to grow the energy democracy movement and unlock its full potential. Projects will gain tools and insights to develop their energy communities through diverse training sessions. Policy sessions will explore emerging challenges and opportunities, from the local to the European level. We’ll also dig deeper into topics of justice, accessibility and inclusivity, to strengthen the movement for energy democracy.

We warmly invite our members and allies to join us at the Forum, to exchange ideas with colleagues from across Europe, learn together, and get inspired.

Registrations open 17 February. More information about the programme will be available soon, stay tuned!

This event will be organised with the support of the European Climate Foundation.

Alongside the European Energy Communities Forum, REScoop.eu will host its Annual General Assembly on 22 May 2025, where we will meet our members, look back at the past year, discuss what's to come, and approve the annual budget. Together with our members, we aim to shape the federation’s direction. Further details on the agenda, voting procedure, and mandates will follow by mid-February. For now, please save the date.

This year’s General Assembly will include elections for REScoop.eu’s Board of Directors. Every four years, members of the federation elect a new Board of Directors during the Annual General Assembly.

The federation is looking for 8 organisations and their representatives with diverse skills and backgrounds to steer REScoop.eu for the next four years. Members were informed about the election process and timeline early January by email. Members can write members@rescoop.eu for more information, and to submit their application by 16 February 2025.
