We’re pleased to announce a series of webinars in July that will draw on experience from across Europe to review how energy communities delivering solar PV projects can contribute to achieving net zero carbon emissions.
The webinars will draw on experience from the EU Heroes Horizon 2020 project, bringing together a partnership of seven agencies from across Europe to understand how energy communities can establish PV projects that support the transition to a flexible, low carbon energy system.
The webinars will be of interest to:
- Policymakers working to implement the EU Renewable Energy Directive
- Communities interested in developing their own solar PV projects
- Electricity network operators working to integrate solar projects into their networks
- Anyone with an interest in a just transition to net zero carbon.
Further details on each webinar can be found below:
1st July 2020: Shaping the future of solar communities 10.30am – 1pm (CET)
