Section outline

  • To foster both transferability and scalability, the following conditions are essential:

    • Legal Clarity: Clear national rules for RECs, aligned with EU directives
    • Institutional Support: Helpdesks, toolkits, and municipal engagement
    • Access to Finance: Streamlined grant applications, community funding, ethical banks
    • Grid Access: Transparent procedures and fair pricing for grid connection
    • Visibility and Awareness: Public education, local champions, and media coverage

    Policy frameworks that enable small-scale RECs to flourish also make them more likely to scale—organically and sustainably.
