How can degrowth be applied to energy? We asked this question and many more to Chris Giotsitsas, president of the Greek energy community CommonEN, in this new episode of City Stories’ SCCALE 20-30-50 series.
CommonEN is one of SCCALE 20 30 50 replication sites and Chris is not only its president but also a researcher for the Peer to Peer Lab. He explained how, despite having to deal with mistrust and a difficult legal framework, they managed to develop two self consumption PV projects and are currently looking into new opportunities presented by agrivoltaics.
During this episode, you’ll learn more about:
- How to talk about degrowth with citizens
- A new coalition of Greek energy communities
- How CommonEN cooperates with the municipality of Ioannina, the city they are based in
