Impact of Variable Factors on the Viability and Efficiency of Energy Communities: A Scenario Simulation Study in Latvia

This research paper presents a study that focuses on modeling consumer and prosumer energy community scenarios. The primary aim is to analyse various aspects, including electricity consumption, prosumers’ electricity sharing tariff, installed capacity, electricity trader tariff for purchasing electricity, and the impact of state aid support. The study aims to determine how these factors affect the net present value, accumulated funds, and the economic benefits of both consumers and prosumers who actively participate in the energy community.
