Project Description
A renewable energy community is a cooperative initiative where individuals, businesses, and local organizations come together to produce, consume, and share renewable energy. These communities focus on harnessing sustainable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, or biomass to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote energy independence.
RECs empower local residents by allowing them to generate their own electricity, lower energy costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability.
They often operate through collective ownership or shared investment models, ensuring that benefits remain within the community.
Additionally, they enhance grid resilience, support local economies, and foster social cohesion by encouraging collaboration and shared responsibility for energy production and consumption.
