Realising The Full potential of Energy Communities
This year’s annual European Energy Communities Forum takes place in Jūrmala, Latvia, on 5—7 May 2025.
Inspired by Kraków’s historic St. Mary’s Tower trumpet call – a symbol of collective strength and readiness, the Forum is 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’re meeting, discussing and strategising on ways to grow the energy democracy movement and unlock its full potential. Projects are gaining tools and insights to develop their energy communities through diverse training sessions. Policy sessions are exploring emerging challenges and opportunities, from the local to the European level. We’re also digging 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.
This event is organised with the support of the European Climate Foundation.
