Friends of Earth Hungary (FoE), the Solidarity Economy Centre, and the Gólya community house and bar joined forces to create the Community Energy Service Company in 2021. The objective is to develop a decentralized renewable energy generation model owned by local communities or solidarity economy enterprises. Under the programme community energy projects will be implemented in 7 locations. The first location will be the Kazán Community House, home to the Gólya Presszó. This project is a continuation of FoE’s community energy programme that has been running since 2013.
