This work presents a socioeconomic analysis of renewable energy communities (RECs) in Italy. The results highlight that individuals expressing a willingness to participate in a REC tend to exhibit more virtuous attitudes. Furthermore, RECs emerge as not only economic drivers for prosumers but also facilitators of collective wellbeing, thereby contributing to sustainable development. The analysis further suggests a growing inclination to prioritise community benefits such as investment in public infrastructure and support for economically vulnerable households over personal financial gains.

Abstract
This work presents a socioeconomic analysis of renewable energy communities (RECs) in Italy. The results highlight that individuals expressing a willingness to participate in a REC tend to exhibit more virtuous attitudes. Furthermore, RECs emerge as not only economic drivers for prosumers but also facilitators of collective wellbeing, thereby contributing to sustainable development. The analysis further suggests a growing inclination to prioritise community benefits such as investment in public infrastructure and support for economically vulnerable households over personal financial gains.File in questo prodotto:
