Local Energy Communities Events

 

 

The Taskforce Local Energy Communities was launched to (i) to provide an overview of the existing legal developments regarding energy communities in the EU and (ii) to build recommendations for the European Commission based on the inputs received from BRIDGE surveys and interviews.

 

BRIDGE is a European Commission initiative which unites Horizon 2020 Smart Grid and Energy Storage Projects to foster continuous knowledge sharing amongst projects. As a result, these projects deliver conclusions and recommendations about the future exploitation of the project results, with a single voice, through four different Working Groups representing the main areas of interest: Business Models, Consumer Engagement, Data Management and Regulations.

 

The process started with the successful Mission Innovation Austria (MIA) online event with more than 400 participants on 23 April 2020 , where ten flavours of Energy Communities were presented. For more information, visit our JPP SES News website or the MIA website.

 

Austria: The series continued with another online event on 14 May 2020, where 4 pioneering initiatives from Austria were presented. You will find more details on the event here.

 

Spain: The aim of this event was to provide insights from Spain in energy community examples in the electricity sector, the opportunities and challenges they pose for current market and regulatory arrangements. The event documentation can be found here.
