LIFE-BECKON

Boosting energy communities

LIFE-BECKON stimulates and boosts the deployment of energy communities across Europe.

The project promotes this by developing and delivering comprehensive support mechanisms for public authorities, promoters and Local Action Groups to better equip them to facilitate the creation of energy communities, therefore answering to clear needs and known barriers.

The comprehensive support mechanism includes

A Technical Assistance cookbook to enable the creation of Technical Assistance Offices,
A Capacity Building program via Train-the-Trainer approach to increase expertise and knowledge of all stakeholders involved

and integrated services via a One-Stop-Shop platform to facilitate access to information, tools and guides as well as matchmaking among actors along the value chain.

The support mechanism will be validated in 3 supramunicipal areas in Avila (Spain), Sofia (Bulgaria) and Copenhagen (Denmark) and replicated in 15 EU local authorities.
