The Cross-Border Energy Communities initiative has launched a call for proposals to foster structured cross-border cooperation among energy communities located in border regions.
The seven selected energy communities will benefit from:
- A €15,000 grant to support the implementation of a cross-border project.
- Tailored expert support from REScoop.eu.
Applications are open until 21 November 2025, 18:00 CET.
What is a cross-border or quasi-cross-border energy community?
The call is open to established cross-border or quasi-cross-border energy communities wishing to advance existing projects or develop new ones.
- A cross-border energy community engages in activities that have a cross-border dimension; for instance, energy may be generated in one border region and distributed, stored, supplied, or consumed in the other.
- A quasi-cross-border energy community shares either its management, funding, or resources with a partner on the other side of the border. Nevertheless, its energy activities or services are implemented exclusively on one side of the border, or independently on both sides within the cross-border area.
Energy communities must be established in a NUTS 3 border region to be eligible.
