Social acceptance of local renewable energy is crucial for the success of the transition towards a low-carbon society. The Community Energy online module provides guidance on how to promote social acceptance within your local community.

This training program addresses two levels of learners:

• Level 1 is the start-up level for local leaders and municipal staff. It addresses the development of a new Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SECAP) (“1st generation” SECAP)

• Level 2 is for more advanced local governments and provides ideas when reviewing existing SECAPs (“2nd generation” SECAP).

8 interconnected modules are provided for both levels, each providing basic guidance, ideas, hints, tips and tools for politicians and technical staff.
