The deregulation of energy markets in many countries has stimulated the development of energy communities. Members of these communities generate and trade energy in the general market. In addition to pursuing financial goals, they aim to achieve positive environmental and social effects. Despite the recent surge in such communities, they often lack resources and depend on subsidies to compete with traditional energy providers. New technologies could support these communities with optimising their production and consumption, providing smart services and increasing their competitiveness. By applying the multi-criteria mapping (MCM) method to data collected in focus group discussions and interviews with experts, this study explored the potential of technologies and their prioritisation for the adoption of smart services by energy communities. The study proposes an overall ranking of design options for smart energy services based on four stakeholder perspectives and on opposing views and uncertainties. The results provide insights into the potential of each option for the design of innovative information systems (IS) for energy communities. |
