The European Commission is currently preparing an Energy Investment Strategy, meant to trigger large amounts of public and private investment to boost the EU’s decarbonisation efforts. At the same time, the Commission is finalising its Citizen Energy Package, which is meant to ensure that all EU citizens can directly participate and benefit from the energy transition. This is a unique opportunity to put citizens at the centre of EU energy policy.

With the right policies (e.g., de-risking, development finance) the EU and Member States can unlock the full potential of citizen participation in the transition. REScoop.eu highlights in this document the different instruments that can be leveraged through the Energy Investment Strategy.
