In the pilot based in Alginet (Spain), a seed community is forming within an electric cooperative with almost a century of existence.
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.
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 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.
