Training
SICER
Italian School for Renewable Energy Communities
The first course in Italy for anyone who wants to promote a renewable energy community: people able to bring citizens, businesses, administrations and energy companies to the same table.
Why a school
Local energy, shared.
A renewable energy community is a group of people, businesses, organisations and administrations that produce, consume and share energy from renewable sources within the same area.
Setting one up takes technical skills, but also the ability to involve the people who live and work in that area. That is why we designed SICER together with sector experts: to see the ecological transition as an opportunity for lasting benefits for communities.
