| Business Model Name | From Energy community to a cooperative retailer |
|---|---|
| Business Model Description | Plus energy neighborhoods or energy communities have the potential to cooperatively decide to become a retailer by pooling all the demand of their buildings. Becoming a retailer allows to directly procure electricity in the wholesale market. This avoids third party transaction costs and potentially lower the energy bill for individual dwellings... The questions are: How can we aggregate the demand at the neighborhood or community level to be able to participate as a retailer in wholesale markets? Does it bring benefits, is there enough automatization and digitalization means to do this? |
| Customer class | Any building complex Building cooperatives Multi Apartment complex |
| Mechanism for response | Common energy management decisions Self balancing of energy within the neighborhood or energy community |
| Remuneration or compensation | bill savings, fairer energy price |
| Enabling legislation/regulation | Energy communities Barriers on Retailer size entry to the market |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why?
We have fund our selves at a crossroads. Buildings energy efficiency is not moving fast enough to meet the Paris Agreement goals. Innovative financial instruments, business models and regulatory frameworks are urgently needed.
We can continue in this direction. Or we can explore a new way forward. The encyclopenergy aims to do just that in a bid to streamline and optimise the way the built environment community shares knowledge.
The enclyponergy aims at creating a comprehensive compendium to support the spread and scale of innovation in financing solutions, business models, and regulatory frameworks to accelerate the transition to a less carbon-intensive built environment.
Who?
The project ‘Climate Positive Circular Communities’, short name ARV, is funded by the European Green Deal initiative as an Innovation Action within the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme. The enclycopenergy is a flower germinating from the ARV in order to map the world state of art when it comes to energy efficiency financing, business models and regulatory frameworks. The Green Digital Finance Alliance as an ARV Consortium partner is in the lead of such an effort.
What?
The Encyclopenergy is a crowd-open-sourced encyclopedia of energy efficiency enablers. It is a crowdsourced global catalogue of financing tools, business models, and regulatory frameworks enabling, empowering, and scaling energy efficient solutions for the built environment. It also offers intelligence to list demonstrations and organization working in the field with the hope this will be a boomerang to boost the renovation wave.
Where?
Everywhere. Ubiquitus. Onlline. And in your pocket. The encyclopenergy wants to be a practical tool available to all at all time. You can surf it, download it and populate it from anywhere.
When?
The encyclopenergy is still in its infancy. It was kickstarted on March 1st 2022. Help this living knowledge hub to grow, refine and ameliorate so that it can graduate into a useful tool for a climate positive built environment.
