Solar power from next door - new opportunities through energy sharing

From June 1, 2026, it will be possible in Germany to share self-generated electricity within a community while using the public grid. For example, electricity from a PV system can be shared - even across building boundaries. This is made possible by an amendment to the Energy Industry Act (EnWG), which now regulates energy sharing by law for the first time. Energy sharing thus opens up new ways of optimizing energy costs and achieving sustainability goals.

But how does energy sharing work in practice? Who can participate and what requirements must be met? You can find out this and more atthe "ENERGY Sharing - Using renewable electricity together" of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region on Thursday, 11.6.2026 from 16:00-17:00. Speaker Lisa Strippchen from the German Energy Agency (dena) will explain the regulations, highlight the opportunities of energy sharing and also address the challenges of implementation.
