With the energy grid moving from a centralized to a decentralized system, energy communities will play an important role for implementing change in current operative business models. Through OneNET, we are liaising with 69 partners (mainly DSOs and TSOs) to explore how cooperatives can support the implementation of a decentralised energy system.
