The Challenges of Prosumers
Abstract
In response to the difficulties and disruptions in the world energy market caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the European Commission presented the REPowerEU plan ”. REPowerEU is a plan to: saving energy; production of clean energy; diversification of our energy sources. It is backed by financial and legal measures to build the new infrastructure and energy system that Europe needs .This proposal includes a legal obligation to install solar panels on new buildings and encourages countries to cut red tape, provide incentives and inform citizens about how they can become prosumers. It is truly a revolutionary proposition . On the national level, "Taking into account the new AFM Green House Photovoltaic 2021 program, assuming the maintenance of the growth trend recorded in 2021 in the number of prosumers, it is forecasted for the end of 2022 the existence of about 30,000 prosumers", stated the representatives of the National Authority of Energy Regulation (ANRE). The growth enjoyed by the market of small energy consumers who have made the leap to their own small-scale production is astonishing.
