ECHO’s Second General Assembly Was Held

The second general assembly of Horizon Europe funded ECHO project (Energy Communities excellence Hubs: catalyzing energy innOvation ecosystems), in which the Marmara Municipalities Union (MMU) is a partner, was held in Lisbon, Portugal on 25–26 November 2025.

Started in December 2024, ECHO aims to establish excellence hubs that support the development of energy communities in three countries (Türkiye, Portugal, Greece) and strengthen relevant stakeholders through capacity-building programs. During its first year, the needs and potentials related to energy communities in the three countries were assessed, and relevant stakeholders were identified.

At the general assembly, which brought together ECHO partners from six countries, the work planned for the upcoming period and how excellence hubs for energy communities to be established in the three countries would be shaped were discussed.
