Energy communities and territory indissoluble pairing

Renewable energy communities are made up of citizens who become producers and consumers of energy (“prosumers”) but also small and medium-sized enterprises, territorial entities or local authorities, including municipal administrations, for the purpose of local energy distribution produced from renewable sources, bringing a series of environmental, economic and social benefits at a local level and contributing, to some extent, to reducing energy poverty as a sustainable development objective and to achieving the common “decarbonisation” objective required by the future energy system of European Union.There is therefore an immediate need for planning, both energy and territorial in terms of environmental and landscape protection. This article presents the consequent reflections, with particular reference to the landscape planning of the Puglia Region and in the same way, based on an analysis on a local scale.
