Call for applications for the Data-Driven Energy Communities Leadership Programme

Energy communities offer exciting opportunities to combine social inclusion with cutting-edge energy solutions. They provide concrete local value through lower energy costs, increased social cohesion and local renewable energy. ENPOWER, through several local cases, has demonstrated that the local benefit of energy communities can be significantly enhanced by making use of digital and data-driven solutions. 

Join the Leadership Programme to learn how to make energy communities thrive in an increasingly digitalised energy system.

The curriculum will be split into four modules (webinars), covering digital tools and services, regulations for citizen participation, social engagement approaches and governance for energy communities.

The programme is designed to:

  • Educate on digital tools and services for community energy planning,
  • Share real-life experiences from energy communities & lessons learned,
  • Train in social engagement methods to effectively engage citizens and local actors.
