Why it matters
A single rooftop is one site. A community is a group. Members can produce renewable electricity and share it among themselves instead of each person solving surplus alone.
In Albanian this is discussed as a KER, a Komunitet i Energjisë së Rinovueshme. The binding description is in the renewable-energy law, not in this paragraph.
How it works
Members bring production, consumption, or both. Shared electricity is accounted between them under the community’s rules and the law. It is not the same thing as a casual extension lead between two buildings, and it is not the same thing as bidding on the day-ahead market.
Law 24/2023 is the parent act to read. Secondary decisions can add who may form a community, how members join, and how the shared energy is counted. This page will not invent those steps.

TradingDesk context
Use this page before the professional renewable-energy page. That later page is about plants, forecasts and imbalance. This one is about whether a community is the right way to take part.
