Abstract

In March 2020, the first Italian law concerning collective self-consumption and renewable energy communities came into force. This study focuses on the possible applications and limits of the law in the Valle d'Aosta region. In this area, energy communities are stimulating a great interest, also thanks to the century-long history of the area as a producer of renewable energy through hydroelectric power plants. Analyzing the context of Valle d'Aosta, some issues appear to be prominent with respect to the energy communities. The paper focuses on two crucial aspects that needs to be defined in the next energy policy on energy communities: aggregation criteria and incentive scheme.
