There are many different approaches to energy communities and the European Union also makes a definition of energy communities through its directives.
At the moment, European legislation has not been fully established in the Spanish legislation or in the legislation of the Basque Country. It seems that the Social Economy can have something to say on this subject, even more so, the Community Energy Initiatives in which the Social Economy institutions are protagonists.
El objetivo de alcanzar la neutralidad climática en 2050 tiene como condición sine qua non la descarbonización de nuestra economía, a través de una transición energética que permita reducir drásticamente las emisiones de CO2. Este proceso implica hacer de la transición ecológica un proceso de transformación económica y social que se plasme en un nuevo modelo de economía sostenible.
