You can benefit from the Citizen Energy Advisory Hub (CEAH) and support a citizen-centred, socially fair, and inclusive energy transition by engaging with the initiative and joining the Citizen Energy Network.
Find out below how engaging with CEAH and joining the Citizen Energy Network can support you to play a meaningful role in and benefit from the clean energy transition. You can download our value proposition document and share this with your network to inspire broader participation in Europe’s citizen-centred energy future.
Technical assistance will be provided to 120 selected beneficiaries to shape the next generation of citizen energy projects. There will be an open application call, giving you the opportunity to benefit from:
- Free support focusing on topics ranging from capacity building, technical planning, legal and regulatory frameworks, fundraising, and stakeholder engagement.
- Up to 50 days of consultation with experts - hands-on and tailored support matching your project’s maturity.
By signing up to the CEAH newsletter, you, your members, and your organisation/initiative can develop an understanding of how to support or become active energy citizens. We will share with you:
- Best practice examples of real-life case studies from diverse citizen energy projects showing how others overcame barriers and scaled their impact.
- Policy documents to navigate evolving national legislation and EU directives guiding citizen energy initiatives.
- User-friendly guidance materials, tailored to different stakeholders. These will include guidance documents, factsheets, infographics, videos and webinars, focusing on activities such as renewable storage and production, peer-to-peer trading, and engaging stakeholders, among other topics.
- An interactive mapping tool of citizen energy projects across all of Europe.
A just and inclusive energy transition will be realised only by advocating for each European citizen to have their voice represented. Joining the Citizen Energy Network will provide:
- Networking opportunities with international participants, where you can drive the discussion about the development and implementation of citizen energy activities across the EU.
Municipalities will also have the opportunity, via an open call, to receive support to host their own citizen energy panels, allowing citizens to contribute to local energy action plans.
