The RECinMED project promotes a clean and fair energy transition through the direct involvement of citizens, public authorities, private enterprises, and scientific institutions. Stronger transnational cooperation is needed to enhance integrated approaches and innovate existing models based on best practices.
RECinMED, with a partnership of 11 project partners from 9 countries and 3 associated partners, will test innovative solutions for the creation and operation of inclusive Renewable Energy Communities (RECs). The project will establish a transnational cooperation forum to strengthen networks and create synergies among similar projects.
Three Working Groups will be set up to analyze existing knowledge, design, and implement pilot actions in three different contexts:
• Urban areas: development of a toolkit for the creation of solar-based RECs (coordinated by UNIBO).
• Rural areas: development of a methodology for REC creation.
•Islands: development of an energy management toolkit and a user-friendly self-assessment tool for feasibility studies.
The project’s outcomes will include scalable solutions for the expansion of RECs and practical tools to facilitate their implementation across different geographical areas.
Project duration 33 months
