Solution
L'Association des Centrales Villageoises enables volunteers involved in a local Centrales Villageoises project to increase their skills and develop photovoltaic projects themselves.
The association acts on several levers:
- development of a "step-by-step" project method with the provision of a constantly evolving "toolbox";
- support by association employees;
- organization of technical training courses;
- organization of exchange times within the network promoting mutual help and experience sharing;
- etc.

Village Power Plant Gathering
On March 15 and 16, over a hundred volunteers and partners gathered for the Steering Committee and the General Meeting of the Associationdes Centrales Villageoises. Not to mention the nearly 40 people who followed part of the event online!
Over two days, participants attended a series of workshops and plenary sessions on key network topics: collective self-consumption, ground-mounted photovoltaics and shading, local job creation and energy sobriety...
These discussions were a source of inspiration for the Centrales Villageoises volunteers, who went home even more determined to promote renewable energies in their territories!

Publication of the 2023 Business Report
The year 2023 has been an exciting chapter for the Association des Centrales Villageoises.
Between its first participation in two European projects, recruiting new staff, establishing new partnerships, developing innovative tools, organizing meetings and holding multiple training courses, the association has undertaken numerous initiatives to spread the Centrales Villageoises model and support its volunteers.
The 28 pages of this report detail all these advances, with particular emphasis on projects carried out locally by the Centrales Villageoises.
We invite you to share it (without moderation!) to introduce the Centrales Villageoises approach to your neighbors, your friends, your family, your local elected officials and players in the energy transition, and to all the curious who would like to venture into the adventure of citizen energy!
