KICK-OFF WEBINAR – Cross-Border Energy Communities Pilot Actions
The selected pilot actions of the CBEC initiative will be kicked-off through an online seminar on February 23rd 2026. In presence of DG REGIO, AEBR, MOT and REScoop.eu will explain to the pilots the next steps of the implementation period and the content of the dedicated support.
The session will also allow each pilots to explain their project proposal and objectives to set-up and develop their (quasi-)cross-border energy community.
INTERACT WEBINAR – Cross-Border Energy Communities – Unlocking Cooperation for a Clean Energy Transition
Setting up CBECs presents challenges, from legal and regulatory barriers to coordination across jurisdictions. In this webinar, INTERACT will explore how Interreg programmes and projects are already tackling these issues, how EU policy frameworks support the development of CBECs, and what opportunities lie ahead for programmes and stakeholders.
The session will bring together the European Commission, experts, Interreg programmes and projects, and support initiatives, providing inspiration, practical examples, and guidance to help programmes strengthen their role in supporting the clean energy transition.
