💡 What does "Local Energy Sharing" actually mean for you?

It means sharing solar power directly between members. Instead of surplus electricity going to the national grid, it stays within your community, allowing you to buy less from your regular supplier.

The two types of energy communities in Luxembourg:

Local Energy Community

CEL (Communauté Énergétique Locale)

Distance Limit: Maximum 300 metres between furthest members

Grid Fees on Shared Energy: Exempt – no public grid usage fees

National Energy Community

CER (Communauté Énergétique Renouvelable nationale)

Distance Limit: No restriction – anywhere in Luxembourg

Grid Fees on Shared Energy: Grid fees apply

How it works in practice:

  • Your smart meter tracks sharing automatically every 15 minutes
  • Your group decides the internal price together (usually lower than market rates)
