Everyone can drive the energy transition. Whether you are a household, small business, municipality, energy community, social economy actor or small NGO, the Citizen Energy Advisory Hub (CEAH) is here to help you take the next step.

Explore the pathway that best matches your profile to find out what citizen energy means for you, the role you can play, and which European initiatives and projects can support your journey.

Explore your rights to generate, consume, store, and share renewable energy, leading to lower bills and greater community resilience.

Engage as a key partner in citizen energy initiatives, bringing capital and expertise to collaborative projects.

Leverage your role as a local authority to provide planning power and public assets, anchor Public-Private Partnerships, and host Citizen Energy Panels to co-create local energy policy.

Two engineering consultants in hard hats are standing on a roof, next to solar panels, with three female businesspeople. They are explaining solar energy designs to them.

Explore how Energy Communities empower groups to collectively produce, share, store, and supply energy, while ensuring local control and maximizing community benefit.

As vital community anchors, social economy actors and cooperatives ensure local ownership and democratic accountability by mobilizing citizens and providing simple access support network.

Discover how citizen organisations and NGOs contribute to engage the wider community in decision-making, and proactively ensure that vulnerable or underrepresented groups can participate in the energy transition.
