Motivation & Impact
The creation of Renewable Energy Communities (REC) is increasingly involving new places in Europe and, in line with the EU directives and national strategies, their number is progressively increasing. MASTERPIECE is expected to generate benefits by taking stock of lessons learned so far to get a standard for new RECs to be created, where citizens as well as market operators can take advantage of energy demand-response (DR) solutions which are safe and secure by design and where benefits (lower cost of energy, revenues, reduced climate emissions, etc.) can be more easily identified thanks to an approach validated in different contexts and ready to address different needs.
