As the European energy transition moves forward, strong local initiatives are more important than ever. To support this process, POWER-E-COM now offers a Spanish-language podcast series as a complement to its Energy Community Training Pack. Developed in cooperation with Spanish partner ESCAN, the podcasts translate core training content into an accessible audio format aimed at citizens and local governments in Spain.
Five episodes – compact and practice-oriented
