In the SocialRES project, three types of businesses have been considered associated with social innovation in the renewable energy sector: Cooperatives, Aggregators and Crowdfunding ; These businesses facilitate an increase in energy democracy by increasing the number of local (decentralised) clean energy projects and allowing the consumer to take a more active role.

The first webinar for the Lunch at SocialRES series will focus on the results of a detailed analysis carried out by ESTIA Institute of Technology of 9 cases of social innovations implemented by crowdfunding platforms, cooperatives, and aggregators in 7 EU countries (Croatia, France, Germany, UK, Portugal, Romania, Spain) leading to the definition of the enabling conditions and barriers for the generation of a portfolio of successful examples of business models for energy democracy.
