Abstract

On the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development context, International Renewable Energy Agency (I.R.E.N.A., 2020) highlighted that renewable energy (RE) has proven more resilient than fossil fuels. Solar energy presents the highest potential, the individual consumer at the household level, could decide to become an energy producer if it will generate more than his self-consume. The new category of energy prosumers is a matter of investment in equipment and a skills issue. The study addressed a gap of evaluating the energy prosumer’s skill readiness considering the digital transformation. Our original contribution is the proposed index of spatial patterns for prosumer skills readiness in Europe. These skills are for the new family business model of household’s renewable energy production & consume. Everybody will need skills to integrate new technologies, at various grades, according to SAMR model. At the same time, the natural potential and the technology are components of fast shift to RE. Prosumer skill readiness is a complimentary picture for the high digital skills requested by Industry 4.0. Through self-consuming, its members (usually family) create new value and profit outside the market. Results of the present research offers an integrated view of hard resources (natural, technological) and soft/intellectual resources (skill, knowledge) meant to contribute to the RE. It provides valuable insights for the other public policies considering the economic crisis (austerity), energy crisis, diminishing risks and increasing resilience.
