The Danube Energy Communities Accelerator (DECA) project aims to test how citizen-led renewable energy actions can be accelerated across the Danube Region; making a meaningful impact on the region’s transition to higher renewable energy use, energy independence, climate neutrality, and prosperity. The DECA project aims to address these common challenges through jointly developed solutions, pilots and a strategy for accelerating community energy across the region.Potential solutions will be tested through piloting in 9 countries of the Danube programme area: Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Austria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Hungary, Romania and Serbia.
Together, the developed solutions and strategy will provide a powerful common platform from which to accelerate innovation and action on community energy across the region, and make a meaningful impact on the region’s clean energy transition.

By the end of the project we will ensure to have activated a regional alliance of project partners and wider stakeholders committed to adopt, use, extend and scale the project outputs. Throughout this project, we will generate and share with a wide audience the innovative solutions, pilot results, the strategy, insights and lessons learned.
