The SMALLEST project will establish an innovative service across all Northern Periphery Programme (NPP) partner regions to raise the scale and quality of training, mentoring and support for rural communities needed to help them convert from traditional energy generation to renewable energy generation.

The SMALLEST service will assist rural communities by increasing their awareness of the potential benefits of renewable energy generation for their community; assisting with the planning and helping to reveal the commercial feasibility of renewable energy generation; and improving the skills provision required to support renewable energy generation.

SMALLEST will add value by integrating with existing advisory services, filling any gaps in community training and mentoring for conversion to renewable energy generation, and providing supporting business modelling solutions relating to renewable energy generation for communities.

SMALLEST will deliver a transnational benefit by standardising a support process for converting communities from traditional energy generation to renewable energy generation which can draw upon pooled skills and shared knowledge across the region, and potentially can be offered to rural communities across the wider EU.
