As in any business arrangement, you rely on participating members to follow the contractual requirements of the sharing group. Producing members must be paid by consuming members, following the agreed-upon tariff for the energy they share to the group. However, in the event that consuming members do not submit payments promptly, producers will bear the losses. So it’s important to join or create a group with members that you trust will adhere to the contractual agreement and make prompt payments. Enovos Energy Sharing Service manages the billing and dunning, and provides clear reporting on payments made, due, and owed, and will initiate payment reminders in the event of non-payment. But Enovos does not assume payments to producers that have not been received from consuming members. Here are the rules of Enovos dunning process: After two failed SEPA reminders to a non-paying Member, both Sharing Group Representative and the concerned Member(s) will be notified. After the 2nd unsuccessful SEPA attempt, the concerned Member is requested to pay via a bank transfer the outstanding amount including the added dunning fee. In case of non-payment after the 3rd reminder, Enovos has the right to suspend the provision of the Energy Sharing Service to the non-paying member by excluding him from the Energy Sharing Group, from within the Enovos group platform and via Leneda.
Another possible risk could be fluctuations in energy production or consumption patterns that may result in the benefits to one member exceeding the benefits of another member. 

Currently, Luxembourg’s energy sharing regulations are designed exclusively for residents connected to the national grid. As a result, non-residents who live abroad are not eligible to participate in energy sharing groups within Luxembourg.

Yes, it is possible to participate only as a consumer. You will still be able to reduce your electricity bill and benefit from local green energy generated within your  group, and depending on group type, shared energy consumed may be exempted from grid fees. 

We take your privacy seriously, ensuring that data is only accessible to those who need it. Here’s how it works:
 
Group Representative: As the person managing the group and its energy flows, the group representative requires a full view of how much each member consumed from the sharing group and how much energy each producing member has shared with the group.  This is essential to ensure the group operates smoothly and efficiently.  Enovos, in its role as a service provider supporting the representative, will only access this data to manage the group’s activities in its group`s interest.
 
Group members:
As a member, you only see the information relevant to you. Specifically:
Producers can track how much energy they’ve shared with the group or injected into the grid
Consumers can monitor how much energy they’ve used from the group or their supply contract
You will not see individual data from other members. However, to foster a sense of community and shared purpose, we provide an aggregated view of the group’s overall energy-sharing activity. This allows you to understand your contribution to the group without compromising anyone’s privacy.
 
With Enovos, you can trust that your data is handled transparently, securely, and with respect for your privacy.

No, there’s no required minimum. The shared energy you receive depends on your group’s total production and how it’s shared among members (based on the chosen allocation key). If there’s not enough shared energy, the national grid automatically supplies the rest—so your electricity needs are always covered.

No, participating in Enovos Energy Sharing Service does not change your existing energy supply contract. The sharing setup operates independently and simply allows you to consume energy produced within your group. You continue to receive electricity from your supplier as usual when shared energy is unavailable or not enough for your whole consumption.

To share your energy with others, you need to join or create an energy sharing group. These groups are virtual and must be set up by the electricity grid operator, who links together the relevant consumption and production meter points.
 
There are two main types of energy sharing groups in Luxembourg:
 
Collective Self-Consumption (Group types: ACR – Autoconsommation collective renouvelable / AC1 – Autoconsommation collective locale / APS – Autoconsommation plusieurs sites)
 
This type is ideal when all group members are in the same building or within 100 meters. For example:
 
Neighbors in an apartment block sharing rooftop solar energy.
 
Small and Medium size businesses in the same complex sharing energy from a shared installation.
An APS group (Autoconsommation plusieurs sites) is a special case where one legal entity (e.g. one company) shares energy across its own members (e.g. other branches or offices).
 
Energy Communities (Group types: CEL – Communauté énergétique locale / CER – Communauté énergétique nationale renouvelable)
These are legal entities that allow energy sharing across larger distances, even between different neighborhoods. Their focus goes beyond saving money—they also support environmental, social, and local economic goals.
 
Both types enable the distribution of produced electricity among the members of the sharing group based on the chosen allocation key. The creation of such a group begins with the selection of a representative, who coordinates communication between the energy sharing group members and other entities.

Energy sharing can help both producers and consumers to save money on their electricity bills, and the more energy they share the more they save!

Here’s how it works:
When you join an energy sharing group, electricity produced by members (like from solar panels) is shared directly with consuming members. The price for this shared electricity is set somewhere between the producer’s injection tariff and the consumer’s standard electricity supply tariff. This means:
 
Producers earn more through sharing rather than through simple injection of their not-consumed energy into the grid.
 
Consumers pay less compared to if they would just buy all their electricity from the supplier, in some energy sharing set ups they also save on grid transportation fees.
 
It’s a win-win for both sides.

Yes, you can join an energy sharing group, whatever your energy supplier. Furthermore, the Enovos Energy Sharing Service is designed for Enovos clients and for non-Enovos clients, so that you can enjoy our service to share energy and to manage your energy sharing group.

Here are some simple guidelines:
 
You live in the same building?
 → ACR: the simplest and most flexible option.
 
You are neighbours within 100 m?
 → AC1: ideal for a few households, a small co-ownership, or a street.
 
You have several buildings under the same legal entity?
 → APS: perfect for multi-site companies or institutions.
 
You want to create a local project with your neighbourhood, your municipality or several small or medium sized businesses?
 → CEL: the collaborative model for local communities (≤ 300 m).
 
You want to build a broader community with multiple members (> 300 m) who are not representing the same legal entity, even spread across the whole country?
 → CER: a great solution for larger, national-level energy sharing initiatives.
 
And if I’m not sure?
 
Enovos can help you:
identify the configuration that suits your situation,
check technical criteria,
understand the implications (grid fees, number of members, constraints),
onboard your group and ensure its administration.

If an energy sharing group doesn’t produce any energy, its members will rely entirely on their individual active electricity contracts with their suppliers to cover their energy needs. However, the community can still remain active and ready to utilize any future energy production.

If your production exceeds what the community consumes, the unused energy is fed into the national grid. You’re then compensated based on your injection contract with your energy supplier.

Enovos will compensate only the available funds, and allocate the losses to the producers according to the volumes each of them delivered to the sharing group in a certain period (monthly).

Energy sharing is a model where electricity generated by one or more producers is directly shared with a group of consumers, such as neighbors or community members.

The energy flows within a defined group, allowing participants to consume locally-produced electricity, benefit from lower costs (e.g. grid fees), and promote more sustainable, decentralized energy use.

If you’re in Luxembourg and willing to join or establish an energy sharing group, several trustful information sources can help you on your journey: 

1- ILR: The Luxembourg Regulatory Institute (ILR) is an independent authority overseeing key sectors such as electricity, gas, telecommunications, postal services, and railways. It ensures fair competition, market transparency, and consumer protection. ILR also promotes energy transition initiatives like energy sharing and self-consumption on their platform: We Share Energy 

2- Creos: Creos facilitates the creation of energy sharing groups on the Luxembourg National Energy Platform LENEDA. Each Sharing Group must be set up on Leneda prior to starting Enovos Energy Sharing Service. This set up enables the measurement of the shared electricity at each member`s metering point. Creos provides detailed information on how to set up sharing groups on Leneda, for both collective self-consumption or energy communities set ups. Their platform outlines the steps to initiate and manage such groups: I share my energy 

3- LENEDA: LENEDA (Luxembourg National Energy Platform) is a centralized platform designed to collect, manage, and share energy-related data in Luxembourg. It supports transparency, innovation, and decision-making in the energy sector. LENEDA facilitates access to reliable data for stakeholders, enabling the development of smart energy solutions: Leneda 

4- Enovos: Enovos Luxembourg S.A. is the leading energy supplier in Luxembourg. It provides electricity, natural gas, and renewable energy. Enovos is committed to the energy transition, that’s why they provide an Energy Sharing Service to ease the management of such a group: Enovos – your energy expert in Luxembourg

All entities can be part of an energy sharing group including individuals, SMEs, local authorities, municipalities, syndicates, and large companies. Depending on the profile of the prospective group members, there may be limitations in which type of group configuration you are eligible for.

As part of an energy-sharing group, members have the freedom to agree together on what’s called an “energy sharing group tariff.” This means you can negotiate a price for buying and selling energy that works best for everyone in the group. The internal price is a fixed rate which applies to all members of the same group. This price, referred to as Energy Sharing Tariff can be set up by your legitimate Group Representative only (as he has the mandate to communicate it to Enovos on behalf of the whole group). It will be possible to adjust this Tariff every 90 days.
 
Setting up an Energy Sharing Tariff for your Energy Sharing Group is about finding the right balance between producing and consuming group members:
 
If you’re a producer, setting a price too high may drive consumers to explore other options,
 
If you’re a consumer, expecting too low prices may make it challenging to find a suitable sharing group.
 
To find the right balance, we recommend choosing a price that benefits both sides – typically somewhere between the production market value and the price of your regular energy supply contract. This way, everyone involved gains financially from the arrangement. At Enovos, we’re here to support and guide you through this process to help you make the best decision for your group.
