It is urgent to make a change of strategy that successfully faces the energy transition to achieve the 2030 sustainable development goals, the armed conflict in Europe, the high price of energy supply and the high energy dependence at European and national level. In this scenario, the energy community, as a new legal entity, driven by European regulations, can be considered an effective tool to fight against climate change, accelerating the energy transition and guaranteeing a fair and inclusive energy system so necessary in our country. At the national level, the legal framework that regulates energy communities is insufficient. Thus, is it necesary a legal, technical and financial development to promote the constitution of such entities. In this paper, we study their legal nature, proposing, within the framework of Social Economy organisations, the associations and cooperatives as suitable legal formula. They have similar characteristics, provide environmental, social and economic benefits for their members, under principles of voluntary, inclusive and democratic participation; in order to improve the quality of life of citizens; in short, to work on behalf of people and our planet.

This paper addresses the most noteworthy aspects to be taken into consideration in relation to the Roadmap for the sustainable management of mineral raw materials, approved in August 2022, which promotes strategic autonomy and security of supply of raw materials necessary for the energy and digital transition. The Roadmap is aligned with European raw materials policies such as the Fundamental Raw Materials Action Plan, the REPowerEU, and with national tools such as the National Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 (NECP), the 2050 Long-Term Decarbonisation Strategy and the National Security Strategy, and proposes the approval of a new mining law.
