Energy Communities

We are very happy to be promoting this live SRBE event spread over three 2-hour sessions, during which two of our colleagues will be giving presentations.

The energy transition induces a major shift in the way energy is produced because production capacities are more and more decentralized. In order to efficiently use the grid capabilities, the consumption of this local energy relies on giving the final consumer a centric role, becoming increasingly important.

This growing consumers’ role is leading to the emergence of energy communities, which provide a framework for producers and consumers to manage their energy with each other. Nevertheless, strong legal, economic and technical challenges still exist in order to create a fruitful ground for energy communities to develop.

The SRBE invites you to these study days during which you will develop a better understanding on how energy communities are taking shape and which of the main underlying challenges still need to be tackled.

Speakers will share their experience through their involvement in e.g. designing the Belgian regulatory framework, assessing the key economical, societal and environmental levers, developing innovative technical tools and contributing to concrete pilot projects within the 3 regions.
