Community Energy: A practical guide to reclaiming power

Are you thinking about setting up an community energy project community but aren’t sure where to start? Whether you’re a group, a local authority making plans, an up-and-running energy cooperative or just curious about community energy – this step by step guide is for you.

Community Energy: A practical guide to reclaiming power, produced by Friends of the Earth Europe, Energy Cities and REScoop.eu, is a handbook packed with instructions, practical tips and invaluable resources to help build a local, community-led renewable energy revolution in Europe.   

It shares insight from success stories like the Ecopower cooperative in Belgium, which started around the kitchen table of a co-housing project 30 years ago. A restored old watermill now powers 50,000 local homes with 100% renewable energy!
