| Hercules-CE | Enhancing the energy transition in Central Europe with the support of renewable energy communities https://www.interreg-central.eu/projects/hercules-ce/ | INTERREG Central Europe 2021-2027 | 2024-2026 | Central Europe is phasing out fossil fuels but related costs remain high. Extensive investments in renewables and energy efficiency are needed. Renewable energy communities (REC) can help with that. They enable collective and citizen-driven actions, such as the production and sharing of renewable energy. The HERCULES-CE project promotes the introduction of these communities strategically and in local pilot actions. The partners test innovative data-driven approaches to evaluate the business models of new and existing communities. The partners also monitor and evaluate the communities’ environmental impacts and their potentials for reducing energy poverty. | renewable energy, energy transition, energy efficiency, citizen involvment, energy community, financial model, energy poverty | Emilia-Romagna Region Italy | Roberto Sandrini sandrini@sandriniroberto.it |
| Solar4CE-Cities | Boosting urban solar revolution for Central Europe https://www.interreg-central.eu/projects/solar4ce-cities/ | INTERREG Central Europe 2021-2027 | 2024-2027 | A wider use of solar energy in urban areas is often hindered by insufficient policy frameworks that lead to administrative, technological, and financial barriers. The Solar4CE-Cities project helps cities to change this by promoting the prosumption approach. Prosumers are citizens or entities that not only consume but also produce renewable energy and thus contribute to decarbonise their communities. The partners assess existing prosumer schemes, create new business models, pilot prosumer communities, and involve stakeholders to increase solar energy adoption in cities. | solar energy, urban planning, strategy, energy community, financial model, municipality | Municipality of Budapest Hungary | Rita Andrasek andrasek.rita@budapest.hu |
| DECA | The Danube Energy Communities Accelerator https://interreg-danube.eu/projects/deca | Interreg Danube Region Programme 2021-2027 | 2024-2026 | The Danube Energy Communities Accelerator (DECA) project aims to test how citizen-led renewable energy actions can be accelerated across the Danube Region; making a meaningful impact on the region’s transition to higher renewable energy use, energy independence, climate neutrality, and prosperity. Accelerating renewable energy uptake is critical to reducing dependency on imported fossil fuels and reducing the vulnerability of communities in the Danube Region. Currently, available renewable energy resources in the region are underutilised - when they provide ample opportunities for increasing energy security, local prosperity and moving the region towards climate neutrality. | energy community, renewable energy, citizen involvment,energy transition | Energy and Climate Agency of Podravje Slovenia | Nina Taylor nina@ezavod.si |
| NRGCOM | Creating appropriate operational conditions for renewable energy communities in the Danube Region https://interreg-danube.eu/projects/nrgcom | Interreg Danube Region Programme 2021-2027 | 2024-2026 | The Danube Region relies heavily on imported, fossil-fuel energy sources, which raises environmental, efficiency and security concerns. The concept of renewable energy communities (RECs) is not widely known in the region, and their operation is often hampered by legal, internal operational, infrastructural or technical barriers. The overall goal of NRGCOM is to enhance the spread of energy communities by creating an appropriate environment for their proper functioning in the Danube Region | energy community, renewable energy, citizen involvment,energy transition | South Transdanubian Regional Innovation Agency Hungary | Réka Zulauf nrgcom@ddriu.hu |
