Support an Energy Community, or Build One Yourself
What is an Energy Community?
What is it?
A group of neighbors, friends, or local businesses who come together to generate, share, and own their renewable energy supply.
It's about local control, stronger communities, and lasting resilience—together.
Why now?
Energy communities are now recognized as essential drivers of the green transition.
New EU directives, grants, and local government support are making it easier to launch.
Who can do it?
Anyone with a good idea and the will to act:
- •A neighbor with a vision
- •A retiree with time and purpose
- •A working parent with energy to give
- •A young person thinking about the future

Success Story – Thyborøn, Denmark
In a small coastal town, 2,800 residents raised €22.8 million to build a 15 MW wind turbine—Europe's largest community-owned onshore project.
They've since launched five successful projects, proving that local communities can lead the energy transition and keep the value at home.
