Community engagement for clean heat

ConnectHeat

Even though community energy is a proved and effective approach to foster green energy transition, unfortunately its potential remains untapped in the heating and cooling sector.


ConnectHeat is the first European initiative to develop heating and cooling communities in Europe, implementing seven real pilot cases in different EU countries and putting public authorities and citizens at the heart of energy transitions.
