Renewable Energy Communities (CER): Strategies, Standards and Applications
This manual analyzes Renewable Energy Communities (CER) from every aspect: regulatory, technological, planning, organizational, economic and management, with the aim of offering the reader, in a single text, a comprehensive overview of the topic. The work addresses the strategic and regulatory part, but also offers the reader more strictly technical considerations with references to the regulations to be observed for the creation of a Renewable Energy Community. The economic and financial aspects underlying the establishment of a CER are also present, as well as a broad review of case studies and best practices, which operationally translate the process for the birth of these entities. The authors have also focused on analytically illustrating the various sources of renewable energy (photovoltaic, wind, biomass, etc.) and the specific technologies through which energy is produced for the benefit of a community. The work is aimed at all operators (private individuals, businesses, designers, legal and public administration professionals) involved in the organization and implementation of a renewable energy community, from the smallest to the largest. Currently, this publication is the only one in the national panorama capable of illustrating in the round the different and complex aspects of the CER, thanks to the collaboration in its drafting of multiple professionals, coordinated by Fabiana Cambiaso of ANTEL (the national association that brings together technicians of local authorities), who have actively contributed to the definition of the purposes and contents of the work. The text was edited by Fabiana Cambiaso with the contributions of Marco Baudino, Matteo Caldera, Marco Ferraresi, Flavio Friburgo, Giuseppe Milano, Fabio Moretti, Domenico Passarella, Diego Pellegrino, Attilio Piattelli, Armando Pugno, Alfonso Scarano, Edoardo Zanchini, Carlo Zuccaro.
