Section outline

  • Unless your REC is made up of engineers and energy experts, you will likely need outside support for technical studies, energy modelling, procurement, and grid connection. Many regions have energy agencies, environmental NGOs, or universities that offer this kind of assistance. At the EU level, the Energy Communities Repository and the CEC Support Desk provide free tools and guidance. Technical support ensures that your community’s energy plan is viable—not only environmentally, but economically and legally.
