Pioneers Of Citizen-Led Solar Revolution Sound Alarm Over ‘Corporate Capture’

June 21, 2025 Ana Muñoz and Jairo Marcos, DeSmog. , , , , , ,
For decades, advocates of renewable energy have argued that solar panels and wind turbines can be so much more than clean sources of power. By allowing communities to come together to generate their own electricity, small-scale projects can serve the twin goals of decentralising power markets and fostering democratic participation. And that’s before counting the savings for members on their monthly bills. This vision appeared to come a step closer to reality in 2020, when the European Union allocated 750 billion euros in NextGenerationEU post-pandemic recovery funds to boost green and digital industries.
