Description

The objective of EU-NETs is to develop a new training itinerary that enables the training of new professionals capable of creating, developing and managing Energy Communities. This new figure in the energy market is called to empower consumers (citizens, companies, administration, etc.), allowing them both to reduce their energy costs and to play an active role in dealing with the energy and climate transition.

To this end, the new opportunities that open up with the progressive transformation of the legislative framework and with the express technological evolution will be determined, as well as the best way to benefit from this disruptive change. All this information will be integrated into a training course, developed according to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) scheme, which will provide students with the skills, abilities and competencies necessary to exploit this new key element of the energy market.

To achieve this objective, the following activities will be carried out:

  • Analysis of the Energy Communities in Europe from a Legal, Economic, Technological and Social Innovation point of view.
  • Energy Community manager training design and implementation.
  • Development of EU-NETS Learning Platform.
  • Training Activities:
    • Training of Trainers
    • Pilot trainings
