Description
Are you interested in discovering how communities across the Baltic Sea Region are driving their local energy transitions? Learn how they're enhancing prosumer frameworks, creating collaborative energy communities, and scaling up renewable wind and solar projects.
Join us for the inaugural webinar in our 'Inspiration Station' series, focused on enabling prosumerism and energy communities through solar and wind technologies. This session will showcase real success stories from five Baltic countries—Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Poland, and Sweden—exploring how these innovative energy initiatives were launched and how they continue to operate today. We hope these stories will motivate you to champion similar initiatives and unlock the collective benefits that prosumerism and energy communities can bring to your area.
