IRENA Policy Talk 4 – Stimulating Investment in Community Energy
IRENA’s Policy Talks 2020 are a series of online events providing a forum for renewable energy policy discussions where experiences and best practices in policy design and implementation can be shared to support the efficient deployment of renewable energy, and the maximisation of the benefits realised. The Policy Talks generate feedback from IRENA Member States, policy makers, and experts which provides key input to support IRENA’s implementation of the Work Programme in the policy realm, to ensure relevance and accuracy.

Policy Talk 4: Stimulating Investment in Community Energy - in partnership with the IRENA Coalition for Action
The fourth and last Policy Talks 2020 focused on citizen-led renewable energy projects – commonly referred to as 'community energy', and the findings of the IRENA Coalition for Action white paper, Stimulating Investment in Community Energy: Broadening the ownership of renewables. Renewable energy investments by citizens and communities have gained traction in a number of countries. This Policy Talks discussed key opportunities and challenges in stimulating investment in community energy, focusing on how policies can be designed to value citizen participation, current experiences in the implementation of financing instruments to support community energy, and examples of initiatives that have successfully mobilised financing for community energy projects.
