Across Europe, citizens are working together to create an energy system that puts people and the planet first. Not just as passive consumers, but as changemakers and active participants. Community energy initiatives can be an important step towards a just and inclusive energy transition. This session, co-organised by the UHC Member WELLBASED project, will showcase first-hand experiences of energy solidarity collectives tackling energy poverty across Europe.
