Along with the other consortium members, including Ecorys, Energy Cities, Feradene, GNE Finance, Rescoop.eu, and Ricardo, Akaryon started an exciting new project: ENERGY COMMUNITIES FACILITY

Furthermore, experts from the following organizations will be involved in the implementation process: Enviros Circular Economy (VSI ZIEDINE EKONOMIKA) EcoFellow Ecorys Brussels Austrian Energy Agency.

The project began in September 2024 and runs for 42 months, ending in February 2028.

The project aims to support energy communities in developing their business plans.  Additionally, investments in and the implementation of energy community projects will be initiated.

The EU Energy Communities Facility (EU ECF) will help 140 energy communities overcome this problem by lump sum grants and capacity-building measures.

A methodology will be developed that can also be used in other energy community programs.  This is expected to address the specific needs of energy communities to reduce the overall financial risk during the pre-development phase and drive sustainable energy practices in alignment with the EU’s climate goals.

Akaryon carries out the following tasks:

Creation of the application and funding platform, mapping and data collection, website development and management.
