New white paper: Energy & Flexibility Services for Citizens Energy Communities

Citizens Energy Communities (CECs) are becoming increasingly popular. Many communities want to become more self-reliant by investing in community renewables generation; others want to promote energy efficiency and environmental issues generally.

The paper defines the services typically offered by CECs and explores how they might further benefit their members, both now, and in the future, by extending their roles and services to incorporate and valorize demand-side flexibility.
