Projectdetails

Introduction

LIFE-COMET aims to create community energy coalitions at the national level in Eastern European countries and support pioneer energy communities in Greece, Croatia, Romania, Hungary, Slovenia, Poland, and Estonia.

Objectives

On the one hand, the coalitions will foster the collaboration of key stakeholders at the national level to transform enabling frameworks and make procedures and regulatory contexts more supportive for community energy.

On the other hand, the project intends to deliver training and technical assistance to new energy community projects and enable peer-to-peer exchanges in the region.

Replication and Scaling

The project will also support the replication of the energy community coalitions and the tools developed to other non-pilot countries in the area, thus scaling up the impact and further increasing the number of community energy initiatives in the eastern part of the EU, including:

  1. Latvia
  2. Lithuania
  3. Czech Republic
  4. Slovakia
  5. Bulgaria

Consortium

The LIFE-COMET consortium consists of 8 partners from 8 different EU member states, including cooperatives, NGOs, and academic partners, which are among the frontrunners in the context of community energy in the focus member states.
