What is the Renewable Energy Community Prize?
The Prize celebrates European communities that are pioneering new ways of organising and governing their collective energy future.
Launched by the European Commission, the Prize will recognise ten outstanding energy communities that have developed creative, inclusive, and effective governance models. These may include new participatory decision-making processes, equitable benefit-sharing mechanisms, or innovative collaborations between citizens, local authorities, and local enterprises. This initiative celebrates pioneering approaches that ensure fair participation, transparency, and collaboration – helping to build resilient, citizen-driven energy systems for Europe’s sustainable future.
