The "More than Energy" movement is a broad social coalition working for the development of civic energy. It brings together local governments, institutions, non-governmental organizations and individuals convinced that Poland needs to improve energy efficiency and develop distributed energy based on renewable sources (RES). It postulates the creation of conditions for the active participation of individuals and institutions as well as enterprises from outside the energy sector in investments in RES and in activities aimed at improving energy efficiency. The construction of civic energy in Poland requires fair, transparent and effective regulatory mechanisms supporting investment in both the area of electricity and heat production. We also call for improving the energy efficiency of households to be treated as a priority for national investment and aid programmes.
