🔔 New public financing call alert in Italy! The Regione Autonoma Valle d'Aosta, Italy, will support the establishment of energy communities in the country, using Regional Development Funds. The call provides up to 50,000 EUR in grants to support legal and accounting tasks and conduct pre-feasibility studies for different activities of the community. Unfortunately, the call only targets municipalities and local authorities, thus excluding citizen-led initiatives. 📎https://shorturl.at/w9NlK #EnergyCommunities #EnergyTransition

Energy communities in the future will be very much in people's homes and in society as a whole." 🎙️ Tinne Van der Straeten, Belgian Minister of Energy Read more in this Euronews article! ⤵️

It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Michael Sladek. Michael was a co-founder and long-time board member of EWS Elektrizitätswerke Schönau eG. He was a historic figure of the community energy movement and an inspiration to many of us. Our thoughts are with Michael's family and loved ones.
Mit großer Trauer nehmen wir Abschied von unserem Mitgründer und langjährigen Vorstand Dr. Michael Sladek, der uns am 24.09.2024 nach schwerer Krankheit verlassen hat. Michael Sladek war mehr als ein Visionär – er war ein Kämpfer für Mensch und Umwelt. Sein wacher Blick, sein mitreißendes Lachen und seine Überzeugung, dass wir die Welt zum Besseren verändern können, haben uns alle inspiriert. Nach der Reaktorkatastrophe von Tschernobyl 1986 begann für ihn eine lebenslange Mission: eine ökologische, bürgernahe Energieversorgung aufzubauen – unabhängig von Atomkraft und fossilen Energiekonzernen. Gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Ursula Sladek und weiteren Mitstreiter:innen gründete er die Elektrizitätswerke Schönau (EWS) und ebnete den Weg für eine bürgereigene Energiewende. Unzählige Initiativen folgten seinem Beispiel. Sein Pioniergeist und seine unerschöpfliche Energie haben das scheinbar Unmögliche möglich gemacht. Michael bleibt unvergessen – als leidenschaftlicher Arzt, mutiger Klimaschützer und eine prägende Persönlichkeit der Bürgerenergiebewegung. Michael Sladek hat enorm viel bewegt. Er konnte mit seiner besonderen Persönlichkeit viele dafür begeistern, Veränderungen tatkräftig, entschlossen und auch zuweilen unkonventionell anzugehen. Bei allem, was er tat, stand für ihn immer der Mensch im Mittelpunkt. Wir werden ihn niemals vergessen. Einen Nachruf sowie Möglichkeiten, Beileid zu bekunden, findet ihr hier: https://lnkd.in/evdJ858m Wir bitten, die Privatsphäre der Familie Sladek zu respektieren und von direkten Beileidsbekundungen abzusehen.
