Results from the EC2 project are there!

The EC2 project is coming to its end, and with it the projects outputs that the consortium has been working on for the last 3 years. Among them is the attached document, which we want to highlight to our members. It is a set of policy reports on “Ways to support citizen participation in the European energy transition” that were presented during a recent event in Brussels. The policy recommendations are aimed at politicians at national level and at the European Union.

EC² researchers from the Universities of LEIPZIG and Groningen have been exploring the human side of the energy transition by looking at how people’s attitudes and behaviours regarding energy issues are influenced by various psychological factors, and their results have valuable lessons for policymakers.

Also, The Energy Citizen Empowerment Kit is now available in Spanish, Polish, Italian and Dutch! The kit is designed for energy communities, planners, local administrations and anyone working with citizens to co-create a more fair and inclusive energy transition.

Lastly, the Energy Communities Website Handbook, a comprehensive guide for ministries and administrations to creating a website that promotes and supports, is now downloadable!
