Setting up community energy one-stop-shops

One-stop-shops (offices offering administrative, technical, capacity-building and/or financial support to energy communities) have proven an effective way to help community energy projects get off the ground and grow. This guide, developed by the Energy Communities Repository, offers practical guidance for anyone setting up their energy community one-stop-shop.
Drawing on real-world examples across the EU, it covers how to define your services, finance your One Stop Shop, and design a smooth customer journey. Because one-stop-shops interviewed for the guide vary widely in national context, services offered, and challenges faced, the case studies featured in the guide are organised based on that diversity, giving you a range of models to learn from.

Whether you are just starting to scope out a One Stop Shop or looking to refine an existing one, this guide offers concrete, tested insights to help you build something that works.
