IESDI started the implementation of a new project under LIFE-2022-CET-ENERCOM “Developing Integrated Services for Community Energy to Accelerate Valid Energy Transition” - DISCOVER
DISCOVER is an innovative project under the LIFE Programme with the strategic goal of supporting the transition to a renewable energy society. By promoting community energy projects, DISCOVER will enable citizens to mobilise significant investments in renewable energy production through selected pilot projects in Europe.
To this end, DISCOVER will set up and manage local One-stop shops in 5 different European countries – Italy, France, Croatia, Bulgaria and Austria – to implement innovative mechanisms to support the launch and management of various community energy projects.
DISCOVER aims to simplify decision-making processes and reduce operational barriers by connecting local service and technology providers with relevant authorities. During the 3-year implementation period of the project, DISCOVER is expected to reach more than 20,000 European citizens, support 50 new initiatives and mobilise a total investment of more than €19 million. The final results of the project are expected to encourage and facilitate the opening of additional hubs in other regions after its completion, so as to ensure full European coverage and deployment of Community energy service centres.
