We had the pleasure to attend the Δέσμη Ενεργειακών Κοινοτήτων – Coalition of Energy Communities Desmi 1st National Conference, where we had the opportunity to interact with energy communities and key stakeholders that are promoting a just and equitable energy transition.
Much appreciation to Chris Vrettos of Electra Energy Cooperative & REScoop.eu for the organisation and sharing valuable insights on demand response and renewable acceleration. I also extend my gratitude to the Δίκτυο ΔΑΦΝΗ / DAFNI Network for their engaging presentation on energy self-production, highlighting the potential for local generation and self-reliance.
The conference further reinforced the central themes that we are working on at Energon—the importance of combating energy poverty, improving accessibility to clean energy, and fostering community-driven energy models. The discussions highlighted how energy communities are key drivers in this transition, offering a scalable solution to ensure that clean, affordable energy reaches everyone.
At Energon, we are committed to harnessing these insights and pushing forward with our mission to create innovative, community-based energy solutions that democratize energy access and help tackle energy poverty. The experience at the conference has not only expanded my understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the energy sector but also inspired new ideas for how we can contribute to this vital transition.
We look forward to applying these learnings and building further connections within the energy community as we continue our journey toward a more equitable and sustainable energy future.
