🌞🌬️ Abundant renewables? The dream is real!

But managing that abundance is the new challenge for energy communities.

⚡ At #EECF26, the #SmartCORENWE flexibility session tackled the solutions and dilemmas head-on.

💃The second day of the forum has almost come to an end!

🔍The morning started with a policy session on the opportunities and challenges that the Citizens Energy Package presents for energy communities

💡Our participants shared their own experiences and challenges on the ground;

Stay tuned!

🌞 Today we are starting the day at the #EECF26 discussing the Citizens Energy Package.

"Multiplying by 10 the power installed by energy communities in Europe by 2030 is a much welcome objective."
🎙️ Jonathan Bonadio, Head of Policy at REScoop.eu

🌟 Last year, the Dutch government published a paper saying that energy communities are indispensable for the energy transition.

👀 In one of the #EECF26 session, Ries Verhoeven of Energie Samen shared insights on how they achieved this milestone for the community energy movement.

🎉 Our European Energy Community Forum is about to kick off in Jūrmala, Latvia, and we couldn't be more excited!

Three days of connection and inspiration await.

Stay tuned!✨

♨️❄️This morning we also explored community-led clean heating and cooling - still largely untapped in Europe.

From EU policy to local implementation of aquathermal initiatives in the Netherlands and Belgium, where communities are extracting heat from canals and rivers. 🌊

🎙️ Opening words by Latvian Climate and Energy Minister Kaspars Melnis at the #EECF26.

"Energy communities produce and use their own energy, but they do something else, each kilowatt of homegrown energy gives us energy security and stability."

🎊 6 days to go until our annual Forum in Latvia!

🧩 Enabling frameworks properly allow energy communities to exist and thrive. Anna Frączyk from @clienteartheur.bsky.social will discuss about different mechanisms that foster energy communities.
