SeasonalStorage4EG

Energy communities enable new approaches to the collective generation, storage, and use of renewable energy, and are pioneers of the energy transition. As the expansion of renewable energies continues, seasonal energy storage-particularly in the form of renewable gases-is becoming increasingly important to transfer energy from production-rich summer months to consumption-intensive winter months, thereby increasing self-sufficiency and security of supply.
In the research project SeasonalStorage4EG, the added value of seasonal storage for energy communities is demonstrated through intensive exchange with energy communities and other stakeholders. A central objective is the legal analysis, aiming to identify the current legal framework and regulatory barriers that hinder the integration of seasonal storage into energy communities. Based on the project results, recommendations for regulatory adjustments will be developed to support energy communities in their important pioneering role in the energy transition.
