![Clean Energy for All Europeans
The Commission published its Communication on
Energy Union on February 25, 2015 [COM (2015) 80
final]. This Communication calls for a
fundamental transformation of Europe's energy
system: to speak globally with one voice; to, inter
alia, build a sustainable, low-carbon and climate-
friendly economy that is designed to last; where
energy flows freely across borders, based on
competition and the best possible use of
resources; with citizens at its core, where citizens
take ownership of the energy transition, benefit
from new technologies to reduce their bills,
participate actively in the market, and where
vulnerable consumers are protected.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/210309smartenergyec3-210414124458/75/Webinar-Which-technologies-digital-tools-do-we-need-to-implement-an-energy-community-23-02-21-11-2048.jpg)

Webinar - Which technologies & digital tools do we need to implement an energy community ? - 23/02/21
The document discusses various energy community projects in Belgium and the EU that focus on renewable energy solutions and community engagement. It highlights the establishment of energy cooperatives that allow local residents to share energy resources, thereby promoting self-sufficiency and sustainability, supported by EU funding. Additionally, it examines the evolving landscape of energy consumption, including the integration of advanced technologies and community-driven initiatives for energy management and collective self-consumption.

The project innumbers The project in numbers 90% of the Transfo district’s energy use will come from a community-shared renewable energy system. 50% of the elements used to build this system will be sourced using circular procurement. 70 families will experience the added value that this lighthouse project offers. 10 businesses will experience the added value that this lighthouse project offers. 50 000 visitors will experience the added value that this lighthouse project offers. 3,998,436.80 Total ERDF budget granted
- 10. Role of REScoop.eu -Setup an energy community, a renewable energy co-operative, in which all site users can also have a share, will manage the infrastructure and co-operation. -Sharing energy production and storage facilities enables the community to obtain the same level of self-sufficiency with far fewer materials and also enables local balancing through demand-side management.

- 12. EU definition onrenewable energy communities and its transposition in BE/FL - legal entity: open and voluntary participation, autonomous, controlled by its members based in neighbourhood of renewable energy projects developed and owned by this legal entity; - Its shareholders are natural persons, but open to local authorities and SMEs; - Main purpose: offer its members or local area environmental, economical or social advantages rather than financial profits Legal entities most fit in Belgium: recognised cooperatives, enterprises with social aim), not for profit organisations and organisations of co-ownership (apartment blocks).
- 13. EU definition REC Article22: renewable energy communities: Member states ensure that especially households have the right: - To participate in a renewable energy community - While conserving their rights and obligations as end-consumers - Without discriminating conditions and procedures that might hinder their participation in a REC For participating commercial companies the participation can not be their most important commercial of professional activity.
- 14. EU definition RECs havethe right to - produce, - Consume, - Store - Sell renewable energy. - Share renewable energy produced by the production units developed and owned by the REC; - Access to the suitable energy markets, directly but also by means of aggregation. Member states evaluate existing barriers and the potential of RECs on their territory. Member states create an enabling framework to promote and facilitate the development of RECs.

- 22. ENERGY COMMUNITIES INTHE EU LEGISLATION The final Clean Energy Package contains two definitions of energy community: • Citizen energy communities constitute a new type of entity due to their membership structure, governance requirements and purpose (purpose being framed around provision of services/benefits for members or the local community – as opposed to profits). • Renewable Energy Communities constitute a new type of entity that can be distinguished from other market players based on, inter alia, size and ownership structures. 5
- 23. ENERGY COMMUNITIES INSWITZERLAND Energy Communities in Switzerland follow a physical set-up, rather than virtual ones we see in other countries, like Italy. Two main cases happening: • Condominium, where all tenants are joining the community, sharing the energy produced by the solar rooftop (technically easy, but you have to convince all the tenants) • Part of a district, in a sort of micro-grid setup, where in the LV grid all users are joining the community, creating a new point of common coupling to the distribution grid (technically complicated, to manage the local grid) In reality these setups are successful only on condominiums or in new districts. Very often DSOs are the agent implementing the communities. 6

The Lugaggia community is testing a blockchain solution for a local flexibility market, decentralized and fully automated.

- 30. THE ROAD AHEAD Blockchainwill eat the world, but energy is hard to chew: • Smart meters are not yet smart enough: • Energy-intensive appliances have old and limited interfaces • Digitalization is still ongoing, especially for the low voltage grid However the potential is huge: the combination of blockchain, automation and IoT will be needed to ensure a resilient operation of the grid of the future dynamic, heterogeneous and fossil-free grid. Piloting and experimentation are crucial: to unlock this potential we need an interdisciplinary effort connecting domain experts with data-driven generalists. That’s what we aim for in Hive Power. 13
