Abstract: This chapter provides an overview of the importance of model-supported insights and transparency in guiding decision-making in regards to decentralised energy systems. Decentralisation consists a fundamental shift for the design of future energy systems and is part of the energy transition plans of the EU. Therefore, potential design approaches are described and discussed. Another important aspect is the transformation of consumers into prosumers and the formation of energy communities which would be responsible for energy supply. This highlights the necessity of active participation of the local stakeholders in the modelling and design phase, and the engagement of people throughout the process. Finally, aspects of decision-making approaches are discussed, and also the need for transparency in modelling is presented to provide a comprehensive overview.
