Renewable Energy Communities in Positive Energy Districts: A Governance and Realisation Framework in Compliance with the Italian Regulation
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Overview of the European and Italian Regulations
2.1. The EU Scenario
2.2. RECs in the Italian Regulatory Framework
Cooperatives and Unrecognised Membership Bodies: Responsibilities and Institutional Bodies
3. Materials and Methods
Analysis of Success and Critical Factors
- Proportionality (in the narrow sense): An excessive burden on the individual, in relation to the objective sought to be achieved, must not be imposed [100].
- Accountability: It is required in the processing to live up to expectations and demonstrate the effectiveness when requested [101].
- Inclusiveness: Participants must be made part of the decision-making process [102].
- Transparency: The highest degree of transparency must be ensured wherever possible, as this strengthens the democratic nature of the institution and the public’s confidence in the administration [103].
4. Results and Discussion
4.1. Infrastructure Governance Model
The Community Manager
4.2. Proposed Framework for the Creation of RECs
5. Conclusions
