Supporting Solar Energy Communities in Southeast Europe
Impact

The project will potentially trigger the development of PV-based energy communities and crowdfunding initiatives, thus supporting the installation growth of solar PV technologies in the implementing countries. This will contribute to the decarbonisation of the power sector, reaching renewable energy targets and reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the implementing countries. Consequently, this will also boost the energy security of the implementing countries by reducing dependence on fossil fuel.

Outcome

Increased visibility and understanding of energy communities and crowdfunding initiatives dedicated to solar PV projects in countries of South-eastern Europe (HR, BG, EL, MK).

  • Public authorities have increased their understanding of the policies on the topics of solar energy communities.
  • Citizens and public authorities of SEE are introduced to the best practice examples of solar energy communities in the EU
  • Increased capacity of citizens and local authorities for the development of solar energy communities
  • Improved capabilities of national authorities for development of energy community policies in implementing countries

The project started on the 1st of December 2022 and will last until 31st of December 2024.
