RECODE: Renewable Energy Community-Developer Engagement

Project Description

This project seeks to examine the factors for successful deployment of community owned ventures in the Republic of Ireland, either wholly community-own projects or co-owned with established developers. This study builds a repository of REC collaborations, partnerships and shared ownership models from around the world to examine the potential of using and replicating shared ownership arrangements in order to resolve the challenges that have prevented RECs from capturing market share whilst at the same time protecting the normative social and environmental goals which have been the cornerstone for supporting them in the first place.
