What Happens to Electricity I Don't Consume?

Electricity you produce and do not use does not disappear. It can go to the grid, a battery, a community, or a buyer, under the rules that apply to your connection.

Can Businesses Participate in an Energy Community?

Businesses can be part of the participation model. Whether a given company may join a renewable energy community depends on Law 24/2023 and the community’s rules, not on a general yes.
