Join us on 27 May at 11h00-13h00 CET and learn how communities in Central & Eastern Europe are driving the energy transition with sustainable heating and cooling solutions.
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. Join us for this inspiring webinar organised by the ConnectHeat project to discover how heating and cooling (H&C) communities can be a key driver for the energy transition in Southern Europe.
This session will explore how local stakeholders can come together to collectively plan, finance, and manage sustainable thermal energy communities tailored to their needs. You will not only learn more about the concept of H&C communities but also explore inspiring cases and projects as well as useful and proven tools for seamless development of such communities. We will also discuss the potential of heating and cooling plans to boost the roll-out of thermal communities.
SOUTHERN EUROPE FOCUS: This webinar is directed towards stakeholder from Southern Europe. We specifically invite stakeholders from this region to join. Anyone else is welcome to join as well.
