SCCALE episode about community energy strategies in a small paradise in Croatia

City Stories by Energy Cities

Ugo and Franjo are, respectively, President and Manager of this energy cooperative called Apsyrtides. In this episode they tell us how community work is driving their island’s energy transition, but also how Croatian law is still not ready for it. They are about to design a voucher model in cooperation with the water management company to allow residents to co-finance smaller solar projects. We also talked about the need for long-term secure electricity contracts with PPAs being still a promising but hard-to-realise option in Croatia. This episode was produced with support from the EU-funded SCCALE 20-30-50 project.
