Poster summary

Energy communities can represent an interesting and necessary solution for businesses and citizens struggling with the climate crisis and rising energy prices. In community energy systems, the energy demand of a group of households or public service is met by collectively generated electricity from renewable energy sources and this issue is particularly felt in small towns where the establishment of energy communities can bring social benefits and environmental advantages to the one side,and avoiding the dissipation of energy through grid losses on the other one. In this work, possible scenarios for the enerenergy community in the small mountain municipality of Soveria Mannelli are proposed and analysed.
