Making the energy transition a local affair
Realising that the energy transition must happen at the local level, the project has created energy communities in 18 territories across France’s Centre-Val de Loire. These energy communities work with local citizens to raise awareness about the energy transition and help them take charge of their energy issues through renewable energy production projects. With 1 800 citizens already involved in locally driven energy actions, the project is confident it will succeed in increasing energy production in the territories involved by at least 14 % while simultaneously decreasing collective and individual energy consumption.
