Description
While community energy is gaining traction across Europe, its potential in the heating and cooling sector remains largely untapped—especially in Southern regions. This ConnectHeat webinar focuses on how thermal energy communities (TECs) can unlock local sustainability, energy security, and citizen engagement in Southern Europe.
🧭 What to expect:
- Learn the fundamentals of heating and cooling communities
- Hear real-world experiences from Italy and Spain
- Explore practical tools to plan, finance, and manage TECs
- Discover the value of local H&C plans in accelerating the rollout of thermal systems
💬 Speakers include:
- Riccardo Battisti (Ambiente Italia)
- Matteo Mazzolini (Energy Agency of Friuli Venezia Giulia)
- Pilar Navarro Rivero (ITC – Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias)
- Chiara Lazzari (Ambiente Italia)
- Joana Fernandes (ADENE)
🧩 This session is especially relevant for municipalities, energy agencies, and public authorities in Southern Europe, but all stakeholders are welcome to join.
Don’t miss this chance to deepen your knowledge and connect with peers building more resilient and community-driven thermal energy systems.
