Energy Communities and Self-Sufficient Energy Islands

Energy Communities and Self-Sufficient Energy Islands: Legal Framework, Enabling Technologies, Impacts, Self-Sufficiency, Concept Development, and Global Examples provides in-depth information regarding the development of energy communities and the path to reach self-sufficient energy islands, enabling the reader to make informed decisions regarding participation, contribution, planning, and development. The book explores how energy communities can offer a range of benefits and solutions to modern energy challenges, in the context of the increasing focus on sustainable, decentralized energy systems and the transition to renewable energy.

By developing self-sufficient energy islands, communities and nations can increase energy independence, harness renewable energy sources, and address needs in terms of sustainability, environmental conservation, and climate. This is a valuable resource for all those with an interest in energy communities, self-sufficient energy islands, decentralized renewable energy systems, and energy transition, including advanced students, graduates, researchers, faculty, current or potential energy community members, engineers, R&D personnel, consultants, industry professionals, policy makers, businesses, and investors.

• Examines key technologies, legal frameworks, and economic viability for energy communities
• Covers energy concept software tools and examples of the procedure to prepare energy concepts for self-sufficient energy islands
