As governments are working to develop and improve legal frameworks for energy communities, this roadmap provides guidance and examples from EU Member States on relevant building blocks and options to consider.
This document aims to provide a reference guide to energy communities looking into setting up an energy sharing initiative.
Through the past two years, many communities have benefited from the Energy Communities Repository direct technical assistance, twinnings and capacity-building workshop.

Energy communities are still a relatively new concept for many actors in the energy sector. To help create a better understanding of their possible impacts - on the energy system, the local economy, their communities, as well as the environment - the Energy Communities Repository has published a set of impact indicators.

Four LIFE Clean Energy Transition projects (easySRI, Smart Square, SRI-ENACT and SRI2MARKET) have formed a cluster which gathers 42 partners from 16 countries. They are all contributing to support the implementation and successful market uptake of the SRI.
Members of the SRI support team, as well as from the network of SRI-related LIFE Clean Energy Transition projects will be present at the EU Projects Zone of the upcoming Enlit Europe exhibition in Paris (28-30 November 2023).
The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) was initially introduced in the 2018 revision of the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
The SRI is currently being tested in eight Member States, while an SRI platform has been established to share understanding of the SRI with regard to its implementation and value proposition. At the same time, several initiatives related to the SRI are underway, including those under the LIFE Clean Energy Transition programme.
The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) is a rating scheme designed to assess our buildings’ capacity to accommodate smart-ready services. The SRI was introduced in the revised 2018 Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and its subsequent regulations.
The Energy Communities Repository has collected data from the EU Member States on their existing policies and regulations for energy communities. Seven countries are now composing the database.
