We are launching European Energy Communities Facility with high-level discussions at the European Parliament in Brussels. An engaging lineup of speakers—including policymakers, representatives of public investment bodies, local governments, and members of energy communities—will explore strategies to unlock investment for energy communities and discuss opportunities and challenges.

The event is co-hosted by five MEPs: Anna Stürgkh (Renew Europe), Bruno Tobback (S&D), Dario Tamburrano (GUE/NGL), Michael Bloss (Greens-EFA), and Paulo Do Nascimento Cabral (EPP).
