The ACCE project aims to study, develop and scale innovative financing tools for energy communities. Building on the experience of the European cooperative movement and striving to meet the capital needs for financing European community energy, this EU-funded project marks a new step in enabling energy cooperatives to thrive at the national and regional levels.

Our objectives

Our objectives are:

  • To develop five CEFS in five target countries (Belgium, Germany, Croatia, Romania and Spain) to set up energy communities at national or regional level.
  • To enlarge and expand two existing CEFS (in scope and capital) in the Netherlands and France.
  • To set up a European intermediary to facilitate access to EU capital and funds by national CEFS.
  • To commit 20 million euros to new and existing CEFS.
  • To trigger 90 million euros of citizen investments through the creation of CEFS (referring to the amount of private capital invested in projects triggered by ACCE).
