SocialRES hosted a series of live webinars to talk about energy democracy and its importance in meeting Europe’s decarbonisation goals
Today, more than ever, we are urgently called upon to make our contribution to mitigate global warming and ensure, at the same time, energy democracy and independence.
SocialRES projects presented a series of webinars to tackle the main topics around energy democracy and social innovation. With the support of our partners, we discussed energy communities, business models and real case studies.
