Greece: Draft Law on Energy Communities
On 7 June 2017, the Greek Ministry of
Environment and Energy launched a public
consultation on the draft Law on energy
communities, with duration until 26 June 2017.
The Draft Law defines energy communities as
civil law partnership with exclusive aim to
promote social economy, solidarity and
innovation in energy, respond to energy needs,
promote energy sustainability in production,
storage, self-consumption, distribution and
supply of energy, and to increase energy
efficiency in final consumption on local and
regional level. This Draft law has raised sizable
attention in Greece, primary of the energy
market stakeholders but also of interested
individuals. Thus, the response to the
consultations is considerable.
