Energeticabiaglio, a festival with the Cer group (October 18, Castello Cabiaglio)
A day to learn, exchange ideas, and build greater awareness about the opportunities offered by renewable energy and energy communities. This is the goal of Energeticabiaglio– Festival of Shared and Sustainable Energy, scheduled for October 18 (Sunday) in Castello Cabiaglio, in the province of Varese, organized by the Renewable and Solidary Energy Community “Energia Solidale ETS”.
A participatory program
The event offers a diverse program that combines information, discussion, scientific outreach, and social interaction, aiming to bring citizens, officials, associations, and local organizations closer to the topics of shared energy and ecological transition. The day features presentations by key figures in the scientific and cultural discourse on climate change and energy transition.
Giacomo Grassi, a researcher at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC) and member of the IPCC, and Gianluca Ruggieri, a researcher at the University of Insubria and president of énostra, will discuss climate crisis and energy transition, moderated by Andrea Cavalleroni, a researcher at the University of Insubria and part of the Bosco Clima project, who will also present the guide “Reducing household bills without major investments.”

These CERs will discuss the perspectives and challenges of different types of energy communities.
