The EU (Interreg Baltic Sea region programme) co-financed projects Co2mmunity & Energize Co2mmunity supported the development and real-life implementation of renewable community energy pilot projects in the Baltic Sea region. The presented case of community energy is one of two pilots implemented in Latvia. These pilots are implemented on the scale of an apartment building. The presented pilot project is implemented in a row-house (six-section) building. The decision to implement the solar PV technologies was made by the community of apartment (sections) owners. The projects “Co2mmunity: co-producing and co-financing renewable community energy projects” and its follow-up extension project “Energize Co2mmunity: real-life implementation of renewable community energy projects”, were implemented in 2018-2021 by the Rīgas planning region – project partner in Latvija and Mārupes self-government – associated partner.
