The recent consultation report "Costs and benefits of energy sharing" provides clear evidence: collective self-consumption and energy sharing generate significant value — but only if they are properly supported by regulations and infrastructure.
The study highlights that:
- Households can reduce electricity bills by 10–20% through energy sharing;
- Solar generation is used more efficiently, increasing local consumption by 10–15%;
- CO₂ emissions can be cut by hundreds of thousands of tons annually;
- Yet challenges remain: grid operators lose revenues, public budgets need adaptation, and without social support schemes, energy sharing risks becoming a privilege for a few rather than a collective solution.
For RaYSun, these findings reinforce our mission: to create innovative and collaborative energy solutions tailored for business needs that combine social, ecological, and economic value.
