This year’s annual European Energy Communities Forum will take place in Kraków, Poland, on 20—22 May 2025, during Poland’s six-month Presidency of the European Council.

Inspired by Kraków’s historic St. Mary’s Tower trumpet call – a symbol of collective strength and readiness, the Forum will be a call to action, to reshape energy systems, empower citizens, and ensure a just transition.

We're teaming up with our Polish partner CoopTech Hub, to ignite conversations and inspire action during a three-day event full of workshops, exchanges, and activities.

We’ll meet, discuss and strategise on ways to grow the energy democracy movement and unlock its full potential. Projects will gain tools and insights to develop their energy communities through diverse training sessions. Policy sessions will explore emerging challenges and opportunities, from the local to the European level. We’ll also dig deeper into topics of justice, accessibility and inclusivity, to strengthen the movement for energy democracy.

We warmly invite our members and allies to join us at the Forum, to exchange ideas with colleagues from across Europe, learn together, and get inspired.

Registrations open 17 February until 6 March. More information about the programme will be available soon, stay tuned!

This event is organised with the support of the European Climate Foundation.
