CANCOM's Energy Community Platformenables the smooth operation of your energy community. The platform is already being used successfully by over100 energy communitiesin Austria. Users benefit from a comprehensive digital solution and comprehensive support for their energy community.

What is an energy community?

Energy communitiesare an innovative concept that makes a significant contribution to the energy transition and shapes a sustainable future. They offer private individuals, companies and municipalities the opportunity to generate, use and sharerenewable energytogether. energy communitiesfocus on the use ofrenewable energy sourcessuch as solar energy, wind power or biomass. The aim is to promote local energy production and local energy consumption and to make an active contribution toclimate protection.

A distinction is made between two types of energy communities: renewable energy communities and community energy communities.

What is a renewable energy community?

Renewable energy communities exclusively use renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics, wind power or hydropower. They are geographically limited and can be organized as a local or regional community, depending on the grid level of the participants. This geographical proximity increases efficiency and reduces grid utilization. Participants benefit from a reduction in grid fees. Large companies are excluded from participation.

What is a community energy association?

Citizens' energy communities are not subject to any geographical restrictions and are therefore accessible to any metering point in Austria. As this allows full use of the electricity grid, there is no reduction in grid fees for members. In contrast to renewable energy communities, there are no restrictions on the energy sources used in community energy communities. Larger companies can also participate. These benefit, for example, from the possibility of using electricity from company-owned photovoltaic systems across multiple locations.

With the Energy Community Platform, any form of energy community can be operated and managed!

• Economic benefits: Both feeders and purchasers of energy benefit from stable, usually lower electricity prices and government benefits that make participation in an energy community particularly attractive.
• Sustainability: Due to the decentralized local focus, grid utilization is reduced and the use of renewable energies reduces CO2 emissions and actively contributes to climate protection.
• Independence: Self-determined pricing in energy communities makes their members less dependent on price fluctuations and rising energy prices.
• Strengthening the community: Energy communities promote cooperation at local level and strengthen social cohesion through their regional mode of operation.
• Innovation: The use of modern technologies, such as intelligent consumption control, creates new opportunities for efficient energy use.

We offer companies comprehensive support in the planning, implementation and optimization of energy communities.
