Our aim is to empower participants with the knowledge and inspiration needed to lead the change in sustainable energy practices.

This webinar aims to provide municipalities with a comprehensive introduction to Energy Communities, focusing on key considerations for their initiation and planning. The session will showcase a series of successful use cases to inspire and guide participants, helping them understand the essential steps involved in establishing and sustaining ECs within their communities.

This webinar aims to delve into financing schemes and methods crucial for the sustainability of Energy Community projects. Participants will gain insights into diverse funding sources, steps to attract public funds, and various business models. Additionally, the session will cover cost-benefit analysis methodologies to ensure the long-term financial viability of ECs. 

This webinar is tailored for individuals and professionals responsible for securing funding and managing the financial aspects of Energy Community projects. It is relevant to those seeking information on diverse financing sources, attracting public funds, and implementing effective business models for the financial sustainability of Energy Communities:

• Finance Professionals in Municipalities 
• Project Managers and Developers 
• Energy Investors and Financiers 
• Government Representatives Handling Energy Funding

During this webinar, interesting presentations followed by engaging conversations will be presented, covering a wide range of themes, including, the Financing Energy Communities on the European Union level, the available European sources of funding, public funds, as well as the practical demonstration of the available REScoop Financing Tracker.
