Our REScoop PLUS project is coming to an end in February 2019. We had our final conference on the 15th of February 2019.
The Final Conference on Energy Efficiency took place in Utrecht, at the Zaalverhuur 7, hosted by ODE Decentraal.
Boothstraat 7 Utrecht, Netherlands
On Friday, the 15th of February 2019, the final conference of the REScoop PLUS project took place in Utrecht. The conference was hosted by ODE Decentraal, and brought about 70 people together in the attendance. Almost all participants were member of an energy community. The program was divided in two parts, the first one dedicated to the results of the project, the second was made of workshop facilitated by experts of the project. Our goal was to provide an event that would be, at the same time, informative and participative. This reflected our vision of our REScoop PLUS project. The REScoop PLUS project has the goal to support Energy Cooperative on the path the Energy Efficiency for their members and their organisation. We also assessed the impact of the community energy movement on our member’s consumption.
