Participatory Governance for the roll-out of the Energy Union (Policy Brief)
The purpose of this paper is to provide recommendations to policy-makers, legislators and administrations on the implementation of rights allowing prosumers and energy communities to participate in the roll-out of the Energy Union. The governance for the roll-out of the Energy Union should be based on wide involvement of stakeholders and therefore, be participatory. Prosumes and energy communities are important actors of the energy transition and should play an active role in the creation of...

What is prosumerism for? Exploring the normative dimensions of decentralised energy transitions
Energy systems are in transformation towards increasingly renewable, decentralised, demand responsive and smart configurations. This has led to advocacy of the ‘prosumer’ phenomenon: characterised by actors who both consume and produce renewable energy. In parallel a range of prosumer business models are emerging, governed by a range of market, municipal and community actors. Through a series of semi-structured interviews, focus groups and documentary analysis - centred on a case study of...

Regulatory challenges and opportunities for collective renewable energy prosumers in the EU
The transition to a low-carbon future based on renewable energy sources is leading to a new role for citizens, from passive energy consumers to active energy citizens - the so-called renewable energy (RE) prosumers. Recent EU energy policy seeks to mainstream RE prosumers in each Member State. This study carries out a cross-country comparison between the regulatory frameworks of nine countries and regions - Belgium (Flanders region only), Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain,...

Report on local, national and EU scenarios
In order to fulfil the Objective 4 of the PROSEU project, this deliverable analyses various technical scenarios of renewable prosumer integration to determine the full potential for the uptake of such technologies. Three general scenarios were developed with three different reference years: Reference scenario: 2015, 2030, 2050 Renewables scenario: 2030, 2050 Autarky scenario: 2030, 2050 The Reference scenario ensures comparability with business as usual. The renewables scenario shows the...

Collective Renewable Energy Prosumers and the Promises of the Energy Union: Taking Stock
A key strategy in the European Union’s ambition to establish an ‘Energy Union’ that is not just clean, but also fair, consists of empowering citizens to actively interact with the energy market as self-consumers or prosumers. Although renewable energy sources (RES) prosumerism has been growing for at least a decade, two new EU directives are intended to legitimise and facilitate its expansion. However, little is known about the full range of prosumers against which to measure policy...

Business Models for Prosumers in Europe
This report explores the different business models being adopted to enable renewable energy generation and self-consumption in the European Union. It explains why Renewable Energy Communities and Citizen Energy Communities are necessary, what kinds of value they might be trying to capture in the energy transition, and how they can be empowered through EU member states’ energy policy and regulation.

Synthesis of incentive structures: input for Participatory Integrated Assessment
This deliverable develops a comprehensive overview of the incentive structures that shape the mainstreaming of RES prosumerism. The Incentive Structures Framework (ISF) presented here identifies and describes 17 key societal conditions, classified along the three clusters of regulatory-financial conditions, technological-material conditions and cultural-discursive conditions. The relevance is empirically substantiated through brief summaries of observations from PROSEU thematic work packages,...

Prosumers in the post subsidy era: an exploration of new prosumer business models in the UK
This paper explores the evolving renewable energy ‘prosumer’ phenomenon in the United Kingdom (UK). It identifies and evaluates how prosumer business models can exist beyond direct subsidy and the range of prosumer business model archetypes currently in operation. Through a series of in-depth interviews and document analysis, the paper identifies the key opportunities and challenges for these innovative energy business models. The analysis shows that recent developments in technology such...
