One-Stop-Shop

The DISCOVER One-Stop-Shop provides support services for community energy projects (CEP).
Municipalities or individuals interested in establishing an energy community can consult our specialists for guidance.

Our specific services for developing CEPs within project DISCOVER's implementation include technical and economic modelling. They are based on already established practices for engaging citizens and creating energy communities.
