The study aims to explore how the design of Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) can help alleviate energy poverty while enhancing social equity among members. The ultimate goal is to propose a REC model that promotes fair and inclusive resource allocation, reducing inequalities in access to energy.

The study will be structured into three phases: (i) a literature review of the main Allocation Schemes applicable to RECs, examining existing ones and best practices for equitable benefit distribution; (ii) the design and data collection of a specific case study of a REC in a context affected by energy poverty; (iii) the use of a planning and management model for the REC that optimizes the distribution of renewable resources and maximizes social equity.

The student will benefit from synergies with LEAP – Laboratorio Energia e Ambiente Piacenza, already active on several projects on the topic.
