“…Local citizens and stakeholders are directly involved in the project's design from the start and are trying to consider local characteristics (landscape, cultural-historical values) [66]. The design and construction are taking place in cooperation with the surrounding municipalities and a local energy cooperative [56,67]. In December 2021, the municipality organised a kick-off meeting where neighbours and interested parties received information about the plans and had the opportunity to engage actively [66].…”

“…In December 2021, the municipality organised a kick-off meeting where neighbours and interested parties received information about the plans and had the opportunity to engage actively [66]. Local residents and other stakeholders could then address the issue of how existing values can be preserved and, at the same time, can be enriched with new ones [56,67]. In the participatory design, interests and ambitions are put on a map, without immediately making choices about the design itself.…”

“…Following the identification of potential sites, during the initial phase, questions regarding ownership and financing arise. Dyl ąg et al [82] advised to pursue two different kinds of financial backing, one for planning and initiating the process site and pre-feasibility studies (initial phase) and one for securing land, the installation of the RES technology, and ecological/recreational/educational measures (operational phase) [55,56]. This is in line with the Dutch experience, which also splits the initial conceptual part (e.g., preparation of the concept, feasibility studies, site analysis, expert opinions, participation process, renaturation of the site) from the operational part (the renewable energy infrastructure) of the MFEG project, for which separate types of funding could be sought.…”

Citizen energy in general and renewable energy communities (RECs) in particular are becoming key vehicles for decentralisation, but also for the democratisation of the energy system. These initiatives are now more diverse than ever and are likely to continue to act as incubators for significant projects in the transition to a renewable energy system. Beside the legal, regulatory, and financial challenges, there are several socio-economic and regulatory barriers that hinder the implementation of community energy projects. For this reason, policy learning and the dissemination of good/best practices that are transferable also to other contexts are important. This is an aspect that has not yet attracted much investigation, and only a few studies have explored the importance of transfer activities for the implementation of REC initiatives and their motives. This article aimed to address this knowledge gap by focussing on the transfer processes of best practices initiated in a particular region and discusses how these can be adapted and transferred to other contexts. We analysed the transfer case of a community renewable energy initiative, the multifunctional energy gardens, from the Netherlands to the German federal State of Thuringia, and extracted lessons with an overall validity for the transferability of drivers and success factors. We show how examples from other contexts with similar enabling conditions can represent significant foundations on which to build an effective strategy and what framework conditions are necessary to enhance the uptake of pervasive community energy initiatives in regions with low community energy development.
