The Economics of Electricity Sharing

EUKI project COMMENCE – Community Energy in Central Europe empowers active customers and energy communities by providing guidance on the economic aspects of electricity sharing, fostering decentralised and sustainable energy systems.

This guide explores the financial and regulatory aspects of electricity sharing within energy communities. It provides insights into how individuals and groups can optimise self-consumption, reduce energy costs, and contribute to a more decentralised and sustainable energy system. The document outlines key economic principles, legal frameworks, and technical requirements for sharing electricity, particularly in the context of European Union regulations. It also discusses business models, cost-benefit analysis, and financial incentives available for energy-sharing initiatives. Additionally, it highlights the role of smart grids, digital platforms, and blockchain in facilitating transparent and efficient electricity transactions. The guide aims to empower prosumers to take an active role in the energy transition. By fostering local energy exchange, communities can enhance energy security, promote renewable integration, and achieve greater independence from traditional utility providers.
