A best practices book for integrated local energy communities (ILECs) has been published by the eNeuron project to help them navigate the complex interactions across multiple technical and legal domains.
To successfully implement an ILEC, meticulous planning and ongoing oversight are essential. Nevertheless, ILECs present a compelling alternative to centralised energy supply, and they play a crucial role in the energy transition. The latest best practice book from the EU-funded project eNeuron, offers recommendations, lessons learned, and practical strategies to facilitate the effective implementation of ILECs.
Starting with a European perspective, the book examines current policies and regulatory frameworks, alongside critical technical aspects related to the integration of innovative energy technologies. It also addresses non-technical challenges such as financial barriers, behavioural trends, and the importance of community acceptance and engagement.
Drawing on successful business models and pilot activities, the book provides practical methodologies for overcoming these challenges. It emphasises the role of impact assessment in evaluating the tangible environmental benefits of ILECs, offering a strategic roadmap for scalable and replicable energy solutions across Europe.
