Crash course 6: Community engagement in practice
- Inspiration
- Preparation
- Community
- Europe
A community-based Virtual Power Plant (cVPP) aims to create environmental, social and economical value for and by the community, which can only be achieved if the community is involved. During the process of exploring the cVPP possibilities, questions regarding community engagement will rise.
This crash course offers support to participants in developing an approach to engage the broader community. It gives background information on community engagement, but it is not a tool for developing a community engagement strategy.
The crash course is the sixth module of a series of crash courses created by the cVPP project. The other available modules are:
- Crash course 1: What is a cVPP?
- Crash course 2: History of our energy system
- Crash course 3: EU energy policy
- Crash course 4: Energy flexibility
- Crash course 5: Energy market roles
- Crash course 7: Community participation in the European electricity markets
- Crash course 8: Energy Management Systems for energy communities
