Inspiration

This stage describes the emergence of the energy community.
A core group of interested individuals starts to form around an idea, develops a general intention for action, and becomes aware of the needs, opportunities and barriers for the chosen action. It is also the stage where the group formulates a shared vision, takes stock of the skills available within the group, and identifies the skillsets needed to be able to achieve the vision. Peer-to-peer learning can significantly accelerate this stage and help build the motivation of the group.
