Who Are We?
The Power of Community Energy.
Taking power into our hands also means taking ownership over our energy.
The Community Power Coalition brings together about 40 like-minded associations across Europe – representing energy cooperatives, networks of cities and local authorities, the renewable energy industry, legal experts, environmental NGOs and others. The Coalition is facilitated by Friends of the Earth Europe in Brussels.
