Abstract: Many industries have undergone a transformation in today's highly developed information technology era. In this study, we descript a future community energy system perspective based on the principle of industry 4.0 and a literature review of current research achievements on community energy system planning (CESP) After a review, we indicate that information sharing, consumer's participation, and cross-business cooperation are the noteworthy features of CESP in the industry 4.0 era. We also indicate that future CESP is based on stakeholders' deep participation and that decentralised independent decision-making is the main planning pattern. The lack of hierarchical and parallel information interaction between different stakeholders at the planning stage makes CESP inefficient and an investment waste. Furthermore, the basic data utilised by CESP have the potential to be supplemented.
