Who do we bring together?
We bring together the key actors of the energy transition , ministries, public officials, municipalities, industry associations, energy producers, renewable solution providers and regulators — across Europe, with an initial focus on Southeastern and Eastern Europe.
How do we bring them together?
We facilitate collaboration through closed groups on our online crowd-knowledge platform, weTHINK.eu. In addition, we host quarterly online working group meetings and two bi-annual online conferences.
Why do we bring them together?
We work to regularly exchange technical, operational and strategic know-how, sharing best practices on the energy transition. We provide training for service companies and municipalities on renewable energy solutions and implementation strategies. We develop strategy recommendations and position papers to improve the legal, political and economic framework for a successful energy transition in Europe. And we actively design and implement renewable energy projects.
