The evolution of EU legislation on energy communities since the Clean Energy Package in 2019
The EU has made significant progress in recognizing and empowering energy communities, acknowledging their vital role in the clean energy transition.
Join us for our special webinar April 9th, 2024 – 11:00am–12:15pm CEST “European Energy Communities: Sector Coupling, Flexibility, and Operational Perspectives”
FEDECOM project is pleased to invite you to attend the next webinar that we are co-organizing as part of the upcoming EM-Power Europe (https://www.em-power.eu/home), 2024 event. This webinar will take place on Tuesday, April 9th, 2024 - 11:00am–12:15pm CEST (Webinar Language will be in English). We will talk about “European Energy Communities: Sector Coupling, Flexibility, and Operational Perspectives”.
Read the latest FEDECOM’s Open research Europe article “Demonstrating clean energy transition scenarios in sector coupled and renewable – based energy communities”.
Based on the system of systems approach, this paper introduces a 4-step funnel approach and a 4-step reverse funnel approach to systematically specify and detail demonstration scenarios for energy community projects.
Behind FEDECOM development, read the scientific publication by UCL, FEDECOM partner: “Energyscope Pathway: An Open-Source Model to Optimise the Energy Transition Pathways of a Regional Whole-Energy System”
By developing features for Fedecom, colleagues from UCL (Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium), have published, 19th December 2023, a methodology paper about how to optimises the investments over a 30 years transition period while accounting for hourly resolution. The 48 pages scientific publication is available on the ResearchGate Web portal.

Benchmark of EU projects related to energy communities (EC)
Current Horizon 2020 (H2020) and Horizon Europe (HEUR) projects focusing directly on ECs where FEDECOM seeks collaborations
FEDECOM is supporting the development of open models’ development for decision makers.
Energy system models serve as advisory tools for decision-makers to assess the impact of their choices. Utilizing open-source models enhances the transparency and replicability of results, enabling external individuals to build upon previous studies.
