Energy communities’ impact on grids – Energy community embedment increasing grid flexibility and flourishing electricity markets
Discussion Paper
This paper first gives a brief overview of energy communities developments, followed by an analysis of the impact of large-scale implementation of energy communities on the power grids. This is pursued by discussing economic processing in the power industry and business organization, as both are crucial for promoting viable energy communities. The paper finalizes conclusions and recommendations on innovation and research activities
Target audience: National/state government or energy policy makers; Local/regional government ; DSO/Utility/Grid Owner
