Join the U2Demo Consortium and Policy Experts on 4 September 2025
As the energy transition accelerates, peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing is becoming a cornerstone of decentralized, community-led energy systems. But how ready is Europe’s legal and regulatory framework to support this shift?
We invite you to a high-level webinar hosted by the Florence School of Regulation (FSR) in collaboration with the U2Demo Horizon Europe project:
Date: Thursday, 4 September 2025
Time: 14:00–16:00 CEST

The webinar will be recorded and made available on FSR’s YouTube channel.
About the Webinar
The U2Demo project (Use of open-source P2P energy sharing platforms for energy democratisation), funded by the European Union’s Horizon Innovation Actions, is developing innovative software to enable P2P energy sharing as a management strategy, facilitating widespread participation of active consumers within Energy Communities. To support this goal, there is a need to map the complexities of the legal and regulatory framework at both EU and Member State levels.
At EU level, since the Clean Energy Package, regulation has enabled active consumers to jointly self-consume and engage in P2P (peer-to-peer) energy trading within or beyond Energy Communities (ECs). The reforms introduced by the new Electricity Market Design have inserted specific rules for energy sharing, adding a further layer of rules to the existing regulatory landscape for energy sharing activities.
At Member State level, divergences in the transposition of these EU legislations for enabling P2P sharing, increase complexity, particularly in the allocation of duties and responsibilities among various market actors (e.g. members, sharing organisers, traditional suppliers, DSOs).
The webinar aims to present the final report led by the Florence School of Regulation and conducted within the U2Demo project. FSR leads the task for mapping and comparing the legal and regulatory framework that enables the development of consumer-centric models for energy sharing and P2P trading within energy communities, starting from the EU legislation and digging into its transposition in the national jurisdiction of four Member States, namely, Italy, Portugal, Belgium (Flanders), and the Netherlands.
