About – Energy-SHAring solutions and communities for enhanced Renewable ENergy in the MEDiterranean historic centres

SHAREN addresses the energy transition in heritage urban contexts of the Mediterranean region. While most of historic city centres’ buildings are highly energy inefficient, the installation of renewable energy is struggling due to their architectural and historical significance, requiring a balance between modern energy transition and preservation. SHAREN introduces 6 Energy Sharing Solutions (ESS)*, including Renewable Energy Communities (REC)**, to enhance green energy’s efficiency, secure its supply, empower citizens & reduce energy poverty across Spain, Lebanon, Türkiye, Italy & Jordan, preserving the historical beauty and value of heritage buildings and piloted centres according to the New European Bauhaus principles.

*ESS: refers to sharing the excess energy produced by your solar panels with neighbours, friends or family
**REC: refers to bring together local businesses and residents to generate, share and consume clean energy together.
