The mission of Friends of the Earth Hungary (FoE), comprised of over 100 Hungarian member groups, is the comprehensive protection of nature, as well as the promotion of sustainable development. The Community Energy Programme of FoE is focused on creating a more favourable legislative environment for community Renewable Energy Sources (RES) projects and building up a cross-national and national community power coalition. Additionally, public campaigns have been organised in five Hungarian regions to facilitate the birth of more community energy initiatives and projects. This programme has given risen to the Community Energy Service Company, which supports the creation of energy co-operatives and the implementation of pilot projects.
