Abstract

This study aims to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with renewable energy communities (RECs) in Italy. The results, obtained through an incentivised online survey and an analytic hierarchy process, showed that economic saving on energy costs is the most relevant criterion for both consumers and expert stakeholders. Also, technical barriers and energy independence emerged as relevant in developing RECs. Consumers are more sensitive to the social opportunities behind RECs, while experts focus only on the economic aspects. The economic benefits, pragmatism, and effective management of human and physical resources within RECs can help achieve sustainable development.

可再生能源社区实现可持续发展的战略分析

本研究旨在确定意大利可再生能源社区 (REC) 的优势、劣势、机遇和威胁。通过激励性在线调查和层次分析法得出的结果显示，对消费者和专家利益相关者而言，节约能源成本是最重要的标准。此外，技术障碍和能源独立性也与开发可再生能源中心有关。消费者对可再生能源中心背后的社会机遇更为敏感，而专家则只关注经济方面。区域经济共同体的经济效益、务实精神以及对人力和物力资源的有效管理有助于实现可持续发展。
