Multi-supplier models and decentralized energy systems : energy sharing approaches

Energy sharing is the activity of administratively attributing renewable energy to consumers, where the renewable energy asset is controlled by those consumers in a shared role as a non-professional or non-profit producer. The main objective of energy sharing is to give all consumers access to renewable energy assets, i.e. the opportunity to participate in renewable energy projects and to benefit from the control of these assets. Energy sharing has already been implemented in various Member States.
