Community ownership of renewable energy plants can mobilise local investment, improve the acceptability and increase local community benefits of renewable energy.

However, the share of community owned renewable energy plants differs a lot in the countries of the EU. Different legal requirements and economic conditions have led to various models of community ownership in Europe.

The conference shall bring together representatives of the different sectors involved in community ownership of RE-plants, such as community groups, RE-associations, planning authorities, financing institutions, consultants, local/regional energy agencies and grid operators.

The conference will identify and describe bottlenecks and success factors which are crucial for the promotion of community ownership and elaborate a memorandum which specifies objectives for further research activities on success factors for community ownership.
