REScoop Spring Gathering
WatchOverview
Cinergies Co-Op was commissioned by REScoop.eu, the European federation of citizen energy cooperatives, to produce a short video report for the Community Energy Spring Gathering held in Athens. This gathering brought together community leaders from across Europe to discuss and advance the role of energy communities in the sustainable energy transition. The video was also linked to our “Future of Energy” podcast series, highlighting our ongoing efforts to promote cooperative values, including collaboration between cooperatives, often providing our services at reduced rates or pro bono for initiatives aligned with our mission.
