“The need for smart energy communities is being driven primarily by the need to increase energy resilience and reduce carbon emissions,” says Eric Woods, research director with Guidehouse Insights. “Energy consumers are also expressing an interest in using energy that is generated locally and that they can partly control. Other clean energy developments, such as the expansion of electric vehicle ownership, are also influencing new approaches to community energy provision.”
While technology challenges still exist, the biggest barrier to the faster deployment of smart energy communities is the need for complex stakeholder management. The sometimes-conflicting demands of residents, local government, energy providers, grid operators, regulators, and real estate developers all need to be balanced. Open and transparent communication between stakeholders and early community engagement are therefore key to successful projects.
