Guidance for Follower Cities “How to set up a Consumer Stock Ownership Plan for Energy Communities”

This report brings together all learnings and insights obtained during the SCORE project, with a focus on giving guidance to local actors - primarily municipalities - aiming to set up an energy community and a Consumer Stock Ownership Plan.

It is divided into two parts:

Part I focuses on practical steps to be taken to get the project started and to produce a feasibility study.

Part II is dedicated to involving other stakeholders, including (vulnerable) consumers and local actors, and explains how the project is best communicated to actors at city level. We have aimed to produce a practical guide that will inform interested municipalities and support them in driving inclusive community energy projects.

The report is produced by the Horizon 2020 SCORE - Supporting Consumer Ownership in Renewable Energies project.
