Calls for proposals, funding and initiatives to support CACERs

One of the common challenges faced by those wishing to set up a Collective Self-Consumption Group (GAC) or a Renewable Energy Community (CER) is finding out what forms of support are available: which structure to choose, how to draw up a business plan, what funding options are available for setting up and growing their organisation, and which funding schemes to apply for based on their objectives.

Thanks to the European LIFE project ECOEMPOWER , the Provincial Agency for Water Resources and Energy (APRIE) has launched the One-Stop Shop for widespread self-consumption and RECs, accessible online via the Infoenergia.

Within this portal, in collaboration with the European Projects Group of UMSE Europa, a section has been created specifically dedicated to the various local, national and European support initiatives, featuring links to detailed pages for each one and contact details for further information. 

The information provided is for guidance only and is not intended to be exhaustive. For further details, please use the links provided and contact the organisers of the initiative you are interested in.

• Groups of people who wish to set up a collective self-consumption group or a renewable energy community.
• Existing energy communities that wish to expand and/or promote the long-term sustainability of their project.
