The SHAREs Blueprint

sharerenewables.eu: The blueprint for national information hubs (Gateways) is a template created in WordPress that
provides the structure and ideas on how to initiate and design national one-stop-shops for energy communities.
You can view it for free and without registration.

The blueprint includes exemplary information on legal and financial aspects, best practice examples, an FAQ
catalogue, step-by-step guides on how to get active, a tool collection, etc. In addition, a communication package for
local heroes is provided including white label communication materials (e.g. flyers or factsheets). Tips and tricks to
adapt the website to national needs add the final touch to the service. Working with the blueprint is easy: you adapt
the structure to national needs and create country-specific content. The website template is almost fully customisable
(e.g. number and order of sections in the menu bar, texts and headings).
