As part of the POWER-E-COM project, our German partners have developed a dedicated National Training Pack — part of the Energy Community Training Pack — to support citizens, municipalities and local stakeholders in building and managing energy communities.
To make this knowledge even more accessible, a podcast series in German has been created, offering practical insights on key topics such as:
- The European and national legal frameworks for energy communities
- Planning fundamentals and community development
- Business models and funding opportunities
- Technical aspects of renewable energy systems
- How to actively engage local citizens and stakeholders
This new audio format complements the comprehensive training pack and allows listeners to conveniently explore the essentials of starting an energy community — whether on the go, at home or at work.
Discover the podcast series and its practical insights:

With these resources, POWER-E-COM continues to empower local actors across Europe to take the energy transition into their own hands — making it easier than ever to plan, launch and grow citizen-led energy communities.
