This document summarises the results obtained in the research area “Regulatory Framework and Market Models” of the HySGrid+ consortium. In particular, the concept of local energy communities with a positive net balance (LECP) and the types of LECPs identified within the project are discussed below. It then briefly discusses the tools and technological enablers that will be necessary to achieve a positive net balance in this type of collaborative business model. Finally, the regulatory barriers that have been encountered when implementing local energy communities with these characteristics are specified.
Results
The R + D + i results of each of the research areas proposed in the Cervera HySGrid + network focus on the development of tools, methodologies, strategies, technologies and business models for the development of new products and services.
