Ecosystems

The Ecosystems Network supports energy communities, local authorities, and clusters in the energy transition and digitalisation. We provide tailored training, networking, and capacity-building activities for coordinators, staff, and citizens across Europe, helping them adapt to digitalisation and connect with key stakeholders.

Community Energy River’s vision is a fair transition to a new way of producing and consuming energy locally. It is addressed to citizens and groups of citizens (Municipality, Company, Energy Community). It offers, according to your specific conditions and needs, participatory workshops and digital or material tools for energy saving, green energy, photovoltaic energy production, and energy communities. It also offers consulting services and produces research on these issues. CER promotes citizens’ participation in the transition to a different energy model and their familiarity with new technologies and the idea of ​​local production and energy consumption.
