Enercracy Project Hosts Second Workshop on Municipal Climate Neutrality

On December 16, 2025, the Enercracy project consortium held its second workshop, focusing on municipal energy and climate measures that support energy communities and prosumerism. The event brought together members from different national working groups, representing five countries, to advance the development of a Model Catalogue of Measures—a practical tool for municipalities aiming to achieve climate neutrality.

During the workshop, each team presented the work of the respective National Working Group, facilitating the development of the Model Catalogue of Measures and supporting the development of the energy and climate plans for the case study municipalities in five countries. The event outlined different solutions and thoughts on forming the document, which is good for the outcome when the five national versions will compile into one document in February!

“I look forward to compiling this shared work into a complete Model Catalogue of Measures, with all this input that we would not have reached by ourselves”, Inga Kreicmane from ZREA said.

The project has municipalities and local public authorities as its primary audience, with secondary stakeholders including regional authorities, energy community interest groups, and SMEs. The goal for the workshop was to explore enabling conditions and strategies that municipalities can adopt to accelerate their transition toward climate neutrality when using the Model Catalogue of Measures.

Participants shared progress from their respective national groups:

• Poland: Emphasised regular updates to national catalogues and stakeholder engagement strategies.
• Estonia: Focused on estimating costs and impacts of measures, aiming to make municipal decision-making easier. They currently have 100 measures under review.
• Latvia: Highlighted advancements in renewable energy planning, including wind potential and investment roadmaps.
• Sweden: Discussed challenges in integrating wind energy due to military restrictions.
• Finland: Shared insights on biogas production and statistical analysis for rural municipalities.

A recurring theme was the importance of including measurable impacts, cost estimates (even if approximate), and best practices from different regions. The catalogue should remain relevant for diverse municipalities—urban, rural, coastal, and inland—each with unique conditions and challenges.

“Costs can be difficult to estimate; it may be easier to estimate the impact each action can have instead. The time scale factor can also be good to have in the Model Catalogue of Measures”, said Emil Lind, Karlskrona Municipality.

Next Steps

The workshop served as a critical platform for knowledge exchange, facilitating the compilation of national inputs into a unified Model Catalogue of Measures. This document will guide municipalities in energy planning, enabling prosumerism, fostering energy communities, and integrating solar and wind technologies. The consolidated catalogue will be finalised in February 2027, following pilot testing in five municipalities.
