As part of the Rural Energy Communities^LV project, the second Virtual Policy Dialogue took place on Wednesday, 2 April 2025 from 10:00-13:00 (Central European Summer Time). The online event was titled ‘Energy Sharing for Rural Energy Communities - Knowledge Exchange Between Schleswig-Holstein (Germany) and Latvia’. The virtual policy dialogue addressed policy makers, public authorities, associations, citizen and community energy initiatives, as well as other interested market actors and stakeholders. The regional focus was on Germany - particularly Schleswig-Holstein - and Latvia. 45 participants joined the Policy Dialogue.

The following questions were discussed at the event: What opportunities and challenges does energy sharing bring for Germany (especially Schleswig-Holstein) and Latvia? How does the regulatory framework for energy sharing look like in both countries? What can players in politics and administration, energy communities and other market players and stakeholders in both countries learn from each other and from the experiences of other European countries in the field of energy sharing?
