Energising Europe’s energy communities
Energy communities hinge on the open participation of members and the local community. There are thousands of energy communities in Europe. Providing support for the creation and development of energy communities on a local scale is top priority in the EU. In this context, the EU-funded MASTERPIECE project will create a digital coordination and cooperation arena that will facilitate the creation and operation of energy communities throughout Europe. The project’s overall objectives are to empower traditional energy consumers and to make them active agents of collaborative energy communities. It will also create user-centric solutions based on participatory approaches such as cocreation and naturally accelerate citizens’ involvement. MASTERPIECE will demonstrate the applicability of methodological, technical and business innovations in several real-life pilots.
