Community power projects are on the rise in Europe and that's no coincidence. It's a people centred solution to challenges such as climate change, energy poverty, energy security and more. Although many people have taken it forward and new energy co-operatives are taking off every day in Europe, community power hasn't received the political support it deserves and still faces obstacles. Discussing its potential and putting it on the political agenda seemed the best way to conclude a year of intense engagement by Counter Balance and its member with EU citizens.
