This workshop will explore how educational establishments could become key drivers in the energy transition. It will explore how they can participate in community energy programmes by engaging their students, academic and support staff, and nearby communities.
The session will highlight successful schemes that have navigated the complex legal and technical challenges that so often derail potential projects that have the power to lower energy costs, divert fossil fuel profits back into local communities and reward local investors.
It will include opening remarks by DG Education, a keynote speech by DG Energy, which will outline the EU legal framework designed to support and encourage such initiatives, explore some of the challenges and meet those who have successfully overcome them. It will conclude with workshops and an expert panel to answer participants’ questions.
The event will conclude with remarks from DG Clima.
