The development of Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) in the school environment

Energy communities are a tool that promotes the involvement of local actors in the ongoing energy transition process. Schools are by nature an ideal habitat for their development: they have an active community (students, teaching staff, parents), they have suitable spaces for the installation of photovoltaic systems, and they have an educational role also on the themes of active citizenship.
In recent years, RSE has mapped some case studies that can be taken as examples for the spread of these initiatives and has developed some dedicated guidelines.
The conference aims to present these results and stimulate debate among institutions for the further development of these initiatives.
