LIFE-COMET (Coalitions for Community Energy Catalyzation in Eastern EU)

International project

The energy community movement is spreading across Europe. However, central and eastern Europe face specific challenges in the structuring of the civil society initiatives. Life COMET supports the creation of community energy coalitions at national level in Eastern European countries. Partners will also help the emergence of new energy communities with training and technical assistance. The goal is to create 7 coalitions and assist 97 new citizen-led energy initiatives. The consortium aims at facilitating the formation of such partnerships, as well as delivering trainings and exchanging best practices among countries.

Objectives:

  • Coalitions - Organisations will set up coalitions with key civil society actors in order to advocate for more supportive regulatory frameworks for community energy.
  • Training and technical assistance to new energy community projects and enable peer to peer exchanges in the region.
  • Bridge with other countries. The consortium will liaise with energy communities and coalitions in other countries (Latvia, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria) and share our tools and experience with the emerging movement in these countries.
