The objective of the contract is to create a handbook on cross-border energy communities. The handbook will serve as a tool for citizens, citizens’ organisations and local actors – such as local authorities and NGOs – that wish to exploit the benefits of cross-border cooperation in (renewable) energy generation, supply, storage, aggregation, distribution, and consumption by establishing cross-border energy communities across the European territory. The handbook will provide a step-by-step methodology on how to set-up cross-border energy communities and develop their activities. The handbook will also provide recommendations on how to overcome legal, administrative, governance and management obstacles that may arise given the specific cross-border context and disseminate good practices.
