LIFE LOOP SWOT analysis template

Developed by Electra energy cooperative under the LIFE LOOP project, the Barriers and Opportunities – SWOT Analysis Template is a practical guide designed to help citizen-led energy communities and local municipalities evaluate the feasibility of joint clean energy projects. Utilizing the SWOT framework (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats), the tool provides structured matrices that analyze potential collaborations from both the community’s and the municipality’s perspectives. By helping both entities identify shared climate goals, anticipate regulatory or administrative hurdles, and unlock key resources like public land and funding, this template builds mutual trust and lays a solid foundation for long-term local partnerships.
