Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) in the path of energy transition: the Italian experience

The objective of the contribution is the examination of the European and Italian regulation in the field of Renewable Energy Communities (RECs), communities that play an important role in the path of the energy transition, involving multiple actors and achieving economic, environmental or social purposes. The various activities that RECs can carry out and the legal form that they can assume will be taken into account. Finally, attention will be focused on the first REC in Italy and on some positive and negative aspects of the most recent regulatory reforms.
