Abstract

A clean and just energy transition can only rely on the direct involvement of all the actors operating in the territories: citizens, public authorities, private enterprises and scientific institutions. A stronger cooperation on a transnational level is required to enhance an integrated approach to innovate current models on the basis of the best practices and studies performed in different areas so far. RECinMED, through a partnership composed by 10 project partners coming from 8 countries and three associated partners, aims at testing innovative solutions in order to foster the creation and good functioning of inclusive Renewable Energy Communities. The project will develop a new cooperation forum and coordination activities on a transnational level to strengthen the networks and positive spillovers among projects regarding energy communities. In addition, three Working Groups will be established in order to analyze existing knowledge, design and implement pilot actions in three different contexts: urban areas, rural territories and islands. Each WG will face specific challenges and will be able to identify the best way to transfer and upscale validated solutions in new areas. Methodologies and tools already developed in previous EU projects have been selected. They will be analyzed and integrated according to best practices and available real-data to make them more effective and transferable in geographical contexts with similar traits and necessities. Testing reports, stakeholder engagement initiatives and a transferring plan will be delivered together with an ongoing quality assessment both for technical actions and project management, including communication
