ACCE RES project development guide

As part of the project ACCE project (Access to Capital for Community Energy), the project partners had to each come up with a plan to financially support the energy communities existing in their countries, based on the type of projects that needed to be financed and the level of maturity of their local energy communities.

The reflection around the replication plan of the ACCE partners allowed them to identify the main type of Community Energy Financial Scheme (CEFS) that energy communities would need in their countries.

This guide is the result of those reflections and outlining the 5 main types of CEFS that the energy communities could use in the countries of the project partners (i.e. Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Romania, and the UK). It identifies the main characteristics and success factors of each of those CEFS and provides examples of existing CEFS.
