🏘️ Can I share solar power with neighbours or join an energy community in Luxembourg?

The short answer

Energy sharing lets households use power produced by a shared installation, a neighbour or a community project. Whether and how it works depends on the national rules.

📜 The rules in Luxembourg

Energy sharing and communities

You can share locally produced renewable electricity: in collective self-consumption (same building, or points at most 100 m apart) or in an energy community (local within 300 m, or nationwide). An energy community is a legal entity registered with the ILR; the grid operator then sets up the sharing group.

  • The members' meter values are recalculated every quarter of an hour. The shared electricity is split by a key you choose: priority, percentage or pro rata. Contact your grid operator to sign the self-consumption agreement. (myilr.lu)
  • Creos does not bill the shared energy between members; the group arranges that itself. Changes to a sharing group must be notified one month in advance. (creos-net.lu)

❓ Questions

Do I have to own solar panels?

No. In many schemes you can take part as a member or user without owning an installation.

Does my supplier stay the same?

Usually yes. The shared power is counted first and your supplier provides the rest.

Who registers the sharing?

Normally the grid operator or the body named on this page. Ask them before you start.
