Bath &West Community Energy
Bath &West Community Energy has installed 12.35MW of renewable energy, enough to power nearly 4,000 homes and reducing carbon emissions equivalent to the carbon footprint of nearly 1,000 B&NES residents. This includes solar PVs on the roofs of eleven schools and four community buildings, five ground-mounted solar arrays and a modern waterwheel. In addition to the installation of renewable energy, they have carried out projects around energy efficiency and energy demand management.

Brixton Energy
Brixton Energy is part of Repowering London. They create cooperatively-owned renewable energy projects, which means that once completed, they become cooperatives themselves. These projects are managed democratically and benefit the local communities. Through their projects, Brixton Energy is able to generate energy, increase the community’s energy resilience and security and raise awareness about energy poverty and efficiency. Amongst their goals, they have lowering energy costs for local residents, reduction CO2 emissions and creating opportunities for local and responsible financial investment.
Relation to DECIDE
Brixton Energy is an Energy Community, and it counts three completed projects so far.

Local Energy Scotland
Local Energy Scotland administers and manages the Scottish Government's Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES), established by the government to encourage local and community ownership of renewable energy and to help maximise the benefits of renewable energy systems to communities - both commercial or community-owned. Local Energy Scotland gives advice and supports shared ownership projects and local energy systems at every stage - from initial planning, through development and funding applications, right up to and beyond the launch.
Relation to DECIDE
Local Energy Scotland has carried out several prohects and pieces of research in the scope of Energy Communities

Renaissance
Renaissance project is an Innovation Action (IA) which aim is to deliver a community-driven scalable and replicable approach, to implement new business models and technologies supporting clean production and shared distribution of energy in local communities.
In the first phase the Consortium will collect data to identify stable and equitable business cases in four Local Energy Communities (LEC) across Europe, thank to MAMCA analysis.
The resulting scenarios will support the co-design of the ReEnergise tool, which will help identifying the optimal configuration for an integrated and decarbonised Local Energy Systems (LES). The tool will be tested in each Pilot Site and followed by a financial viability assessment.
Thereafter an innovative platform for integrated management and value delivery across all actors will be implemented and interoperability realised.
As a consequence, the energy communities of prosumers at demonstrator sites will be fully connected and the use of RES will likely increase beyond 27% .
In the last phase, the RENAISSANCE approach will be simulated under market conditions connecting 10 sites across the globe, to demonstrate its scalability and replicability.
