Electricity sharing for ESG-oriented companies. Share energy within your business and achieve cost savings

You may have already heard about electricity sharing, but are unsure how to apply it in practice to benefit your business or meet ESG targets. The following article provides a clear overview of the key advantages and operational principles of electricity sharing in the corporate sector.

Over the past years, we have witnessed the emergence of community energy initiatives. Reports have highlighted the formation of energy communities in towns and municipalities, as well as electricity sharing among citizens. What is less commonly discussed, however, is the fact that electricity sharing also presents new opportunities for businesses and corporate energy strategies—particularly for those seeking to optimise the use of renewable sources or secure access to green electricity.

Electricity Sharing – An Innovative Solution and Opportunity

Electricity consumers now have an additional means to reduce energy costs and decrease reliance on conventional energy suppliers. Clean electricity no longer needs to be sourced exclusively from renewable installations located at the point of consumption (e.g. solar panels on your company premises). New legislation enables electricity to be shared across your facilities via the public distribution network from other locations in the Czech Republic—whether from your own or third-party renewable sources. This creates a virtual connection between green energy producers and end users.

Benefits for Your Business

• Access to affordable, green electricity
• Predictable energy costs through long-term electricity sharing
• Acquisition of green energy (including relevant certificates) to meet ESG requirements
• More efficient use of your renewable sources – share surplus energy within your enterprise

How Does Electricity Sharing Work?

Electricity sharing does not involve the physical transfer of energy between two points in the distribution network. Instead, it is implemented through adjustments in your energy supplier’s billing. From a technical standpoint, it is not possible to guarantee that recipients consume the exact electricity shared by the producer.

In simplified terms, sharing functions as an accounting operation. The amount of electricity supplied by your standard provider is reduced on your bill by the volume of electricity shared from your own or another producer’s renewable source.
