Accessing funding is one of the biggest challenges for energy communities. In the early stages, when citizens are working together to gather the resources needed to turn their renewable energy dreams into reality - the journey can feel uncertain and full of hurdles.

This is where the ACCE project comes in! Our mission is to explore and showcase innovative funding solutions developed by energy communities, for energy communities, across Europe.

There is no silver-bullet solution. The type of project, the national context, the maturity of the energy community, the regulatory framework, and the political momentum - all play a key role in determining the most effective funding model.

To highlight the diversity of approaches, we are launching a social media campaign featuring real-life examples of successful Community Energy Financing Schemes (CEFS) from across Europe. These schemes, developed by experts with a deep understanding of energy communities, demonstrate how public and private funding solutions can be combined to overcome financial barriers. They are proof that collaboration among various stakeholders is essential for building clean, sustainable, and fair energy systems.

Follow #ACCE and #CEFS on social media to discover how communities are powering the future!

The campaign starts on 6 February 2025.

Join the conversation and be part of the movement!
