Introduction

 * A small village in Romania (900 people) suffers from electricity blackouts.
 * Some people in the village want to explore sustainable options to become less dependent from the national grid.
 * They are thinking about solar panels, wind mills or a water mill in the local creek.

Questions

 * Do the local energy suppliers own the network?
 * What is the name of the local energy supplier?
 * Should they build a local micro grid that's connected to the national grid?

Next possible actions

 * Talk with local community
 * Search for local contracters
 * Contact universities
 * Contact Vattenfall
