The warmth of cooperation: Heating and cooling communities for Southern Europe
Time: 11 - 13
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 this inspiring event 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.
This event is directed towards stakeholders from Southern Europe.
