Citizen-led Energy

Empowering people to shape the energy transition through communities, participation, and shared benefits.

Citizens are no longer just energy consumers — they are becoming active players in Europe’s energy transition. From joining energy communities that collectively produce and share renewable power, to participating in local renovation programmes, demand-response schemes, or energy-saving initiatives, people are taking ownership of their energy future. Citizen-led energy boosts social acceptance of the transition, creates local economic value, and strengthens resilience by keeping benefits within communities. Regional and local energy agencies are key enablers of this movement, supporting citizens with technical expertise, financing solutions, and governance models that make participation accessible to all.
