The ETU initiative aims to encourage local authorities and civil society to use the ETU toolbox and ETU model in their energy transition plans. The ETU toolbox gathers the main technical outcomes and tools developed from the MED Renewable Energy Community and it is open to gather other tools that complement the support to energy planning, the creation of energy communities, energy policies and smart solutions for energy facilities.

The ETU model offers a roadmap for rural areas considering the limiting factors to 5 main concerns: 1) apply an ecological approach into climate emergency; 2) promote a territorial equity between the urban and the rural, 3) boost social innovation through technology and warranty clean energy for vulnerable groups, 4) encourage the green economy by attracting green businesses into local energy communities, and 5) advocate for the cooperation & commitment between key actors and key policy frameworks.
