ConnectHeat project was launched to unlock the potential of Energy Communities in Heating and Cooling
ConnectHeat project (Community engagement for clean heat) will improve public authorities’ capacities to trigger innovative community energy initiatives through local participative and cooperative processes, leading to an increased share of renewables and higher energy efficiency of heating and cooling across Europe.
It has received 1.5 million Euros in funding from the EU’s LIFE Programme and will run from October 2022 to September 2025, developing seven real pilot cases in different EU countries.
