The project

ClimateSensibilization
What if citizens, local authorities and businesses were to take back control of their region's energy? With Centrales Villageoises, local residents get together to develop renewable energy projects close to home. These could be solar panels installed on the roofs of schools, town halls or businesses, financed and managed collectively. These projects produce clean, local energy, while strengthening ties between local players.
