Abstract

Assuming that a real “smart city” is a “smart urban ecosystem”, this contribution explores the role local energy communities may have in this perspective. In this regard, at least four levels of discourse are crucial: institutional, organizational, psychologic and technologic. Although connected to each other, these are levels of discourse that raise different and specific questions. Our basic hypothesis is that the peculiarity of each of them is not always considered. Furthermore, in the academic literature it is the fourth level that has the absolute preponderance for now, while the others are given less attention. Key words: renewables, communities, institutions, organization, motivations
