LIFE LOOP report on local community energy info centres and One-Stop Shop development

This tool is part of the SHINE tools! It is among the best performing tools for energy communities as ranked by the partners of the SHINE projects. This report assesses the development of community energy one-stop-shops (OSS) across key pilot regions—including Zagreb, Crete, Bistrita, and frontrunner Vienna—under the LIFE LOOP project. Drawing from structured interviews, study visits, and collaborative exchanges, it highlights best practices, financial models, and stakeholder strategies essential for driving local decarbonization. Designed to serve as a practical blueprint for scaling OSS initiatives across Europe, this guide outlines key factors for success and provides actionable resources for municipalities looking to empower their local energy transitions.
