Description
There is no one-size-fits-all approach for how to develop an enabling framework for energy communities - every country starts from a different place. To help EU Member States in this undertaking, the Energy Communities Repository has published a Roadmap outlining key Building Blocks and steps that can be taken to provide strong frameworks for energy communities, namely:
1 | A clear definition to identify and acknowledge energy communities
2 | Access to information and awareness raising
3 | Access to finance and available support schemes
4 | Minimum regulatory conditions
5 | Framework to monitor the types of initiatives that emerge and persistent barriers
This Roadmap supports a learning-by-doing approach through providing different examples of implementation on different aspects of national frameworks for energy communities from across the EU. It further provides examples of how different Member States have carried out their own learning-by-doing approach.
