The ACCE Project

Across Europe, more than 1.5 million citizens are actively involved in the energy transition. A common challenge many face is limited access to capital.

That’s where Project ACCE hopes to provide a solution: in devising financing solutions crafted to align with the specific requirements of community energy projects.

Our approach builds on the proven success of existing Community Energy Financing Schemes (CEFS), which have already been instrumental in bolstering energy communities throughout Europe.
