Multi-Apartment Building Electricity Consumers in the Framework of Energy Communities
2025
Mārtiņš Auders, Ineta Geipele, Sanda Lapuķe

This study investigates the role of electricity consumers in multi-apartment residential buildings, specifically condominiums, within the framework of energy communities in Latvia. With the European Union (EU) aiming for climate neutrality by 2050, energy communities are pivotal in promoting renewable energy. The study examines current electricity supply models in Latvia, analysing whether they allow residents to become active customers, engage in collective self-consumption, or join energy communities. The findings reveal that existing regulatory and infrastructural limitations restrict the participation of many apartment residents in the electricity market. The study suggests legal amendments to enable more inclusive engagement of apartment owners and communities, promoting energy self-sufficiency and supporting the EU climate targets.
