Cross-Border Energy Communities

ongoing

"The main objective of ""Cross-border Energy Communities"" is providing support to Cross-border or (quasi)-Cross-border Energy Communities. The action aims to fulfil the European Commission’s mission “Cross-Border regions for the European Green Deal” declared in its report “EU border region, living labs of European integration” launched in 2021. AEBR and MOT are committed to exploiting the potential of energy communities in cross-border territories. They will manage a call for proposals on behalf of the European Commission to provide support to stakeholders in cross-border regions. In the framework of Cross-border Energy Communities, seven pilot actions will be supported in developing Cross-border Energy Communities. MOT and AEBR will select pilot actions and distribute technical and financial support for developing Cross-border Energy Communities. For technical support, AEBR and MOT will collaborate with REScoop.eu, the European Federation of citizen energy cooperatives, whose experts will be involved via workshops and tailored assistance to be granted to the pilot action. Cross-border Energy Communities is a follow-up of the Handbook on Cross-border Energy Communities which will be published by the European Commission in the third semester of 2024. Together, these tools are expected to set the scene for energy communities in border regions to start flourishing within the European Union."
