Energy communities are an opportunity for every household to help shape the energy transition. In the future it should be possible to participate in not just one but in several energy communities at the same time. How this is to be made possible and what framework conditions are required is analyzed in this project.

Together with Oesterreichs Energie, a mathematical model is created to consider possibilities and boundary conditions. Scenario analyzes are to be carried out with this model in order to shed more light on the limits of multiple participation. The following questions will be explored: Can billing be standardized? How complex is the distribution of energy? Is it even possible to allocate all energy units? And is the result understandable for the consumer?
