Energy communities: how municipalities and Local and Regional Energy Agencies can help?

Today,  millions of EU households and businesses are facing a cost of living crisis, created by unstable and expensive imported fossil fuels. Energy communities are a structural, long term solution, helping citizens, businesses and local authorities own, produce and consume their own energy, locally. 

Municipalities and regional energy agencies are firmly established in their territories and can provide invaluable support to energy communities by providing communication resources, as well as technical, financial and legal support. 

This webinar will explore in more detail how municipalities, Local and Regional Energy Agencies and energy communities can collaborate for the benefit of all.
