Equity in Distribution (Fair Sharing Rules): The Cement of the Community

This is perhaps the most delicate and crucial pillar. How are the economic benefits distributed? The research paper "Optimal Investment and Fair Sharing Rules of Incentives for RECs" highlights that without clear, transparent, and perceived-as-fair sharing rules, a REC risks imploding due to internal conflicts. Rules can be based on various criteria (investment share, consumption, solidarity models) and their participatory definition is a fundamental investment in long-term stability.
