Сообщества могут возглавить переход к возобновляемым источникам энергии

The document examines the role of energy cooperatives in the European energy transition, highlighting the Middleground offshore wind farm in Copenhagen as a successful model of community-led decarbonization. It argues that such cooperatives foster 'energy democracy' by combining local financial investment with social capital, though they face barriers like limited capital access and monopolistic competition. The author calls for the European Commission to integrate specific support mechanisms for community energy projects into the EU's legal and investment frameworks to ensure a just and sustainable transition.

• The Middleground offshore wind farm in Copenhagen serves as a global example of a community-led partnership, consisting of 20 turbines located 3 kilometers from the coast. The project was realized through the Middleground Wind Turbine Cooperative, which secured 680,000 euros from the Danish Energy Agency and engaged 8,500 shareholders (including individuals, companies, and NGOs) to fund 50% of the project via 40,500 shares priced at 567 euros each.
• Energy cooperatives promote 'energy democracy' by reducing the influence of oligopolistic markets, decreasing information asymmetry for consumers, and prioritizing social and environmental needs over maximum profit. However, their growth is hindered by limited access to land and capital, unfavorable government regulations, and strong monopolistic competitors.
• Urban sustainability is critical for climate action, as cities account for 70% of global emissions and two-thirds of global energy consumption. In Europe, 66% of cities have climate plans and 82% have set emission reduction targets.
• To support community-led energy transitions, the author recommends that the European Commission focus on three areas: ensuring energy communities can access renewable energy support programs without being disadvantaged by large commercial bidders in auctions, prioritizing local sustainability efforts in the EU investment plan via the European Investment Bank, and including criteria in EU legislation that mandate the participation of local citizens through new organizational forms.
