Setting up and strengthening of energy cooperatives in Greece

WORKSHOP

How do we inform citizens about setting up an energy cooperative? What could be the motives for participation? How do we choose the activities of an energy cooperative and how do we gather the necessary investment capital? What training needs arise as citizens become prosumers?
