Hello @reeflings! Tonight’s board meeting decided to ask you all if there are 2-3 volunteers willing to join a new helping circle with the purpose to start a renewable energy community (REC).

  • Mandate: create a detailed proposal to start a REC, including statutes and business model. The plenary should be put in a position to decide to incorporate.

  • Operations: meet the Facilitateurs Partage et Communatutés d’Énergie and gain the necessary information. Work as a helping circle to assemble a proposal and present it to the plenary. Coordinate with @RichardB as he seeks input from the notary.

  • Timeline: do this from now to mid-November approximately.

I am interested in joining this helping circle myself. Any takers?

If you need an extra pair of hands or an extra brain, i can help.

But if there are enough other people joining the HC or you are fine doing it by yourself, then i’ll stay out.

i’m interested in the computational aspect of the project. software to register data and payments. i dont know if that is too early.

i also have a contact in the Brussels commune that just started working on this .

Definitely too early. The deliverable here is a more grounded business plan and, ideally, a draft statute. But good to know.

Also good to know!

I can help out too. I have the time for research. Just tell me more in detail what you need.
