高頻度時系列データを用いて、再生可能エネルギーコミュニティ（REC）が個人消費者と比較して経済的パフォーマンスが優れていることを評価。パネル計量分析と機械学習（SHAP）により、RECが電力価格変動に対する感応度を大幅に低減し、特に価格ストレス時に安定化効果を発揮することを実証。イタリアの規制改革後のインセンティブ制度がさらに保護的役割を強化することも示した。
English
Using hourly data from 2021-2023 covering the European energy crisis and Italian regulatory reform, this study shows that renewable energy communities (RECs) significantly reduce price dependence compared to individual consumers. Panel econometrics and machine learning (SHAP) confirm that RECs attenuate the impact of electricity price fluctuations, especially during volatility. The post-reform incentive mechanism enhances this stabilizing role.

日本のGX文脈において
本論文は、日本でも推進される地域エネルギーコミュニティや再生可能エネルギー統合に直接関係する。市場変動下でのRECの安定化効果の実証的エビデンスは、FIT制度の見直しやコミュニティエネルギー施策を検討する日本の政策立案者にとって有益な示唆を提供する。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global GX scholarship by providing robust empirical evidence that renewable energy communities not only support renewable deployment but also serve as economic stabilization tools during energy crises. The findings are relevant for the EU's REC framework and similar community energy policies worldwide.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:This paper offers rigorous empirical methodology combining panel econometrics and machine learning to quantify the stabilizing effects of renewable energy communities.
🏢実務担当者:Corporate sustainability teams can use these findings to advocate for community energy participation as a risk management strategy against price volatility.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Renewable energy communities (RECs) are increasingly recognized as a strategic instrument for enhancing energy system resilience, promoting local renewable integration, and reducing consumer exposure to electricity market volatility. This study assesses the economic performance of RECs relative to individual consumers using high-frequency hourly data from 2021 to 2023, covering both the 2022 European energy crisis and the subsequent Italian regulatory reform of incentive mechanisms. An optimized REC configuration is developed to maximize shared photovoltaic generation and minimize external grid dependence. Through panel econometric analysis, we estimate the sensitivity of economic value to electricity price fluctuations and demonstrate that RECs exhibit significantly lower price dependence than standalone consumers. To complement these findings, machine learning techniques and SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) analysis are employed to capture non-linear dynamics and quantify the relative contribution of electricity prices to value formation. Results consistently show that while market prices remain an important determinant, RECs substantially attenuate their impact, particularly during periods of extreme price stress. A policy counterfactual comparison between pre- and post-reform incentive structures further indicates that the revised regulatory framework introduces a more stable and counter-cyclical compensation mechanism, strengthening the protective role of RECs. Overall, the study provides robust empirical evidence that renewable energy communities function not only as instruments for renewable deployment but also as effective mechanisms for economic stabilization under volatile market conditions.
