Join Differdange’s e-community: share local solar energy

The City of Differdange is launching its local energy community. Electricity producers and consumers can now exchange renewable energy generated in the region—a platform open to everyone: individuals, businesses, and public entities.

A Project at the Heart of the Energy Transition

The energy landscape is changing. In the future, electricity will no longer come primarily from large power plants, but from a multitude of small, decentralized installations located close to consumers and owned by citizens. Energy supply is becoming more accessible; it is becoming connected and smart.

The Differdange e-community is part of this vision: a platform that maximizes the value of locally generated electricity and places the energy transition in the hands of citizens.

Organized as a cooperative seeking the status of a social impact company, the platform is guided by the principles of the commons economy: its purpose is not to generate profits for shareholders, but to serve the public interest and establish a sustainable, decentralized energy supply.

How does it work?

The principle is simple: one person’s surplus electricity can be consumed by another. In practice, the platform makes it possible to:

• exchange and share renewable electricity generated within the community;
• maximize the value of local production and reduce dependence on energy imports;
• better control over prices by reducing the impact of volatility in international energy markets;
• easy creation of your own energy community, thanks to a straightforward implementation of the legal framework that’s accessible to everyone.

What are the benefits for you?

For producers

• A guaranteed feed-in tariff of 7.5 ct/kWh, 365 days a year.
