Section outline

  • This resource pack is designed to accompany Module 6 of the Training Course Materials for the RECinMED project. The course is designed to enhance knowledge and capacity-building among various stakeholders involved in Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) across the Mediterranean region. The course materials focus on equipping public authorities, citizens, businesses, and educational institutions with the necessary knowledge, tools, and best practices to foster inclusive and sustainable energy communities. The training materials align with the project's broader objectives:

    • Empowering stakeholders with knowledge on the creation, management, and governance of RECs.
    • Enhancing technical and policy expertise in renewable energy solutions.
    • Encouraging transnational cooperation and knowledge-sharing across different Mediterranean territories.

    Whether you're a citizen, local official, stakeholder, or journalist, this pack offers a practical, easy-to-follow overview of the legal and real-world landscape of RECs. It is meant to empower local action, inform debate, and support new or ongoing community energy initiatives. The European energy system is changing—fast. Citizens, cooperatives, and municipalities are no longer just consumers of energy; they are becoming its co-creators. This resource pack serves as a learner’s companion and aims to show how you, too, can take part in this shift.
