Abstract
Urban Energy Club (UEC) provided a 10kW/20kWh communal battery on the roof of a local authority-owned block of flats to deliver LV flexibility services and support collective self-consumption. The battery joined an existing community-owned 37kWp PV array on the building and was integrated into the building’s P2P local energy market trial, CommUNITY. A facilitating supplier (EDF) created the CommUNITY platform to virtually connect the assets behind the landlord’s meter to residents. Through the P2P platform participating residents received equal allocations of the solar output and battery. They received on bill credits for any solar they consumed, shared or sold to neighbours, as well as a share of the income generated through flexibility services. The platform optimised the use of the battery to increase residents’ savings. Urban Energy Club provides insight into how virtual allocation of communal assets can make the LV flexibility market more inclusive for community energy projects and bring benefits for low-income, disengaged customers.
