Citizens Energy Conference: Making Energy Democracy Happen

25 januari 2019 17:00 – 21:00
Location: IHECS, Priemstraat 15, Bruxelles, Bruxelles, Belgium
Category: Evenementen denktank


Our energy system is outdated in many ways: fossil fuel based and thus unsustainable,gistel2 technocratic and dominated by a few big market players. But already some decades, citizens are developing the alternative system: renewable, decentralized and democratic. The strong development of renewable energy cooperatives shows us what citizens are capable of, especially when they are supported by a partner state, that develops a stimulating legal framework and offers smart incentives.
How can we strengthen this transition to an energy system of the future?
