Section outline

  • If you are a concerned citizen:

    Find out whether your municipality has an energy or sustainability strategy. Ask whether public rooftops or underused spaces could host solar panels. Talk to neighbours about their energy needs. Consider joining or starting a local initiative.

    If you are part of a local authority:

    Organise an open meeting to explore interest in a community energy project. Review your municipality’s energy consumption and identify opportunities for self-generation. Reach out to existing cooperatives or NGOs for support. Apply to EU or national funding programmes.

    If you are a journalist or communicator:

    Highlight a successful REC story from your country. Interview local actors or citizens with experience in community energy. Use your platform to explain what RECs are, why they matter, and how people can get involved.
