Democratizing energy sharing within a community not only accelerates solar adoption but also helps lower consumer energy bills, reduce energy poverty and improve energy security and independence. By empowering citizens to take greater control of electricity generation, it transforms them into active participants in the energy transition. This citizen-driven approach to energy transition, supported by fractional ownership of solar parks, presents a pathway to mitigating global warming. By adopting and implementing pro…
