Result of seminar

The seminar was an energy-boost in two ways. 

💥 Energy Communities are here to stay! 

💥 "Golden" Community vibes were in the room!

A fantastic day for the seminar: "Energy Communities – State of Play in Research and Beyond!" The event was a huge success. The room was filled with experts and enthusiasts from energy sector, all focused on the latest developments in energy communities across Europe and the Nordics. We came away with many relevant insights and enjoyed incredibly fruitful discussions on topics ranging from digital innovations to augmentation of existed energy infrastructure with new local energy systems (energy hubs, energy sharing, local energy communities and many other overlapping concepts).
