Empowering businesses to develop energy community models for a successful energy transition

The WESHARE initiative, co-funded by the European Union under the LIFE Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101167685), empowers businesses across Europe to develop and implement energy community models that support a successful clean energy transition.

 
About WESHARE

Launched in 2024, WESHARE is a 36-month project coordinated by  RIMOND SRL and implemented by a consortium of partners:

It brings together a diverse group of stakeholders, including businesses, local authorities and energy service providers to foster energy-sharing models that reduce costs, improve efficiency, and enhance energy security.

During its pilot phase, business energy-sharing communities in Belgium, Portugal and Spain will demonstrate how collective energy solutions can drive Europe’s clean energy transition. These pilots will serve as replicable models, encouraging companies across Europe to adopt similar approaches.

 
WESHARES main activities

To achieve this, WESHARE partners lead key activities that ensure a comprehensive and effective implementation:

  1. ZuidtrAnt – Removing barriers for energy-community at business sites
  2. RIMOND SRL – Management and Coordination
  3. Genera – Business models & financing for business energy communities
  4. ENA – Building competencies for setting-up of business energy communities
  5. GISA – Sustainability, replication and exploitation of project results
  6. LOW Associates – Communication, dissemination and integrated stakeholder engagement

Through this collaborative effort, WESHARE provides businesses with the tools, insights, and policy support needed to transition to cleaner, more efficient energy use, contributing to Europe’s 2050 climate neutrality goals.
