About

Energie Commune (formerly APERe) is an independent association which, since 1991, has been helping citizens and local authorities to move towards a 100% renewable, sustainable and socially responsible energy system.

Our aim is to contribute to the promotion of renewable energies and the rational use of energy in a context of sobriety, in order to stimulate sustainable, fair and mutually supportive development of human activities.

Recognised as a lifelong learning organisation, Energie Commune's educational and facilitation activities focus on 4 areas: Citizen, Community, Territory and School.
