  4. How do shares and employee stock options work?

    Wants changes
    ·

    Allow voting rights in energy communities to be allocated based on the kilowatt share of the community-owned power system assigned to each member, everywhere in Europe.

    “For anyone (physical or juridical person) involved in an energy community, what counts it's the kW (read 'kilowatt') of the community-owned power system assigned to them - and based on this they can/should/must have a say.”

    Feedback, 2025-09-25
  5. What about tax?

    Wants changes
    ·

    Implement a tax scheme that exempts from tax the cashflow distributed to members of non-profit energy communities, as these represent cost savings on power bills, not extra income.

    “This cashflow must not be taxed, since it's not an extra income, but it's only a reduction of cost (the power cost) for the members of the association.”
