The subject of this diploma thesis is the investigation of the Legislative Framework governing the Energy Communities (E.Com.). Globally, energy systems are undergoing a fundamental shift because of climate change and fossil fuel depletion. There are continually increasing numbers of local energy initiatives and the number of business models focused on end users is expanding.
The Energy Communities Law 4513/2018 is the Greek integrated institutional framework which is intended primarily to promote a social and solid energy economy. Energy Communities (E.Com.) are urban cooperatives with the sole purpose of promoting the social and solidarity economy as well as innovation in the energy sector. The thesis provides a comprehensive definition, analysis and then financial incentive and supporting measures to be envisaged for the objects of action that the energy community can have.
It is a method for combating energy poverty, saving energy, using renewable sources and increasing local acceptability. Its primary advantages include the possibility for synergies between citizens, enterprises and local authorities, which are willing to be active in the energy sector. It is a democratic model of involvement in decision-making, since each member has one vote irrespective of the cooperative capital he possesses and it also offers the regions on the island with particular criteria. Thus, favorable conditions can be created for local and regional development and innovation as well as for decentralization of energy production.
