To solve a problem, it must first be named: A register of regulatory barriers to energy communities

The main goal of the authors of this paper is to identify an exemplary list of regulatory barriers that may slow down the development of energy communities and to discuss in detail the already presented idea of a barrier register listing certain provisions (a “black list”) that should be excluded from legal practice. The discussion of these obstacles will be systemic in nature, independent of the particular legal system; thus universal and applicable worldwide. With this in mind, this chapter presents energy communities as distributed energy sources, discusses the types of problems that an energy community can face, offers examples of regulatory barriers affecting the development of community energy, and provides a proposal for solving regulatory barriers with the help of a register., (angielski)
