Cover Story: Energy communities have been defined in European Directives and foster cooperation between active and passive users to share locally produced energy according to innovative management schemes. A rising number of energy communities composed of different participants (e.g., residential, industrial, commercial, and tertiary sectors) are expected to develop within city districts or in suburban settings. The authors developed a methodology capable of bridging the complexity that characterises the prototyping, implementation, and management phases of an energy community within a positive energy district. Requirements and best practices for administrative, technical, and technological management have been identified to define a governance model that empowers members of energy communities.
