This workshop aims to highlight the challenges and opportunities that Citizen Energy Communities face in terms of funding, regulatory and technical issues when furthering energy efficiency and resilience while increasing generation of renewable energy. This will be illustrated with an example from the North Sea Region. Finally, an introduction to the EU advisory initiative Green Assist will show how it can help to overcome difficulties project promotors are typically facing.

Session summary
The Green Advisory Service for Sustainable Investments Support (Green Assist) is a new advisory initiative under InvestEU, funded from the LIFE programme. It aims at building up a pipeline for green investment projects that have a high impact. These projects target sectors of the natural capital and circular economy, but also non-environmental sectors.
Project promoters, financial institutions or other project partners may benefit from advisory services by distinguished experts. Experts are selected from an established pool (“Roster of experts”) or, for specific demands, recruited from other advisory services (e.g. capacity building, studies).
Any such advisory services are provided entirely free of charge.
