Energy communities make it possible to jointly produce, store, consume or sell energy across property boundaries. The "Krone" analyzes what is really behind this and what citizens can save as a result.

 

Austria is one of the first EU countries in which energy communities have already been successfully implemented. And citizens in particular can benefit from this - whether as small energy producers who already produce renewable energy themselves through their PV system on the roof of the family home, for example, or as simple consumers who would like to purchase green energy cheaply but have not had the opportunity to do so to date.
