Small municipalities and Energy Communities, where do we stand?

Renewable Energy Communities are growing in number, despite critical regulatory issues and slowdowns in support initiatives. About a year after the first pilot experiences, we take stock of the territories and regulatory developments (in addition to the PNRR thematic call, several regions have defined specific laws and issued calls for facilities). An overview of some ongoing experiences in hamlets and small municipalities will be equally presented, in light of the increase in energy spending; together with CERs seen as a tool, as relevant as ever, to combat energy poverty.
