ManagEnergy is launching the final edition of its Master Class dedicated to Energy Communities. This training is aimed at energy agencies and local and regional authorities that want to develop the knowledge and skills needed to facilitate and support Energy Communities in their territories.

Energy Communities are key to accelerating the clean energy transition, enabling citizens to actively participate in energy production, sharing, and governance. Energy agencies and public authorities play a central role in translating European policy frameworks into concrete local action.

 

What this Master Class offers

The Master Class focuses on building practical, operational competences to support Energy Communities at local and regional level. Participants will explore:

  • the European policy and regulatory framework for Energy Communities;
  • approaches to promotion, set-up, and operation;
  • financing models and implementation challenges;
  • the role of energy agencies and public authorities as facilitators.

The programme combines expert presentations, case studies, group exercises, and interactive discussions. Representatives of the European Commission will also take part in the sessions, offering direct insights into EU perspectives and policy developments.
