As part of the ISLET project the Island Movement organised a presentation on energy communities for the stakeholders of the islands of the Cres-Lošinj archipelago
Yesterday in the Community of Italians in Cres, a lecture was held for citizens on the topic of energy communities. Namely, the LIFE ISLET project, whose partners are the Island Movement and the City of Cres, aims to educate the local population and establish an energy community to provide multiple benefits to the owners of solar power plants.
The fact that more than 50 private and business users from the Cres-Lošinj archipelago were invited to the lecture proves that the topic is quite new and still in its infancy. Only a dozen of them responded.
The lecture was opened by Dr. Ugo Toić with a brief presentation of the LIFE ISLET project. Afterward, Mr. Ivan Zoković from the Island Movement explained the differences between individual legal definitions of energy communities in Croatia and the EU. Additionally, Mrs. Davorka and Mr. Damir Medved presented the DISCOVER project whose goal is to establish an energy community in Rijeka. We are sure that this topic will become very important and that in the future more and more islanders will join energy communities.
