Een kort overzicht van onze doelstellingen, hoe we het doen en wat precies een Burger Energie Gemeenschap is.
The Lightness project had one of the Regulatory Workshop last june, as part of an engagement plan to involve different stakeholders. These workshops are meant to stimulate the ongoing debate around Citizen Energy Communities, their value and impact.
Energy communities are already a reality. One of the most outstanding characteristics of these projects is their promotion of a distributed energy system, complementary to or independent from the centralised one. However, which of these two alternatives, a distributed or centralised system, is more sustainable in terms of energy and resource consumption?
In the pilot based in Alginet (Spain), a seed community is forming within an electric cooperative with almost a century of existence.
Cities can be seen as energy sinks. All the activities that take place in them require an increasing flow of energy.
How do we engage the people who will make up this community? In the Netherlands, this engagement pathway began with interviews with various residents in the neighbourhood in Woerden.
Financing mechanisms for Citizen Energy Communities are crucial for an ecological and social energy transition in Europe.
The Identity Manual has been created to provide guidance on the project’s graphic style, which is dynamic, visually pleasing and inclusive.
December 2021 markes the First Anniversay of the Lightness project. The Consortium continues to work on the promotion of Energy Communities.

The Lightness project has generated a report on the definition of the Assessment frameworks for Energy Communities.
Setting up Energy Communities implies the development of technical solutions that should go hand in hand with a process to engage, motivate and inform citizens and all interested parties.
The Lightness project was one of the projects central to the conference workshops at the Sustainable Places conference in Rome.
The Lightness project, funded by the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, aims to empower citizens to generate, share and sell renewable energy to
This article seeks for a deeper understanding of the meaning of the energy and ecological transition, within the series of Challenging Questions arising throughout the Lightness Project.
The Voicer model is very useful during the engagement process with end users, and applies an Environmental Justice perspective.
LIGHTNESS involves seven Citizen Energy Communities in five different European countries. Within each of these communities a group of people is invited to participate in a pilot project. The experience of participants helps us shape and support a new energy culture.
As a result of their novelty and future potential, energy communities raise questions not only about what they are and how they are formed, but also about their role in the necessary shift to a new energy model.
The Lightness Project has reached its six-month mark and is progressing fast and strong in its different working areas.
The Lightness Project is now part of Enlit Europe. Our main objective is to promote renewable energy by supporting Citizen Energy Communities (CECs) in Europe.
