Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to identify the disparities between Energy Communities and traditional energy market participants operating within EU Member States. The issues analysed belong to the field of legal and economic sciences. The research was conducted using formal-legal and theoretical-legal methods. The identified disparities were divided into: first, differences of a programmatic nature (including the origins of the formation and development of the compared entities, the degree of state interference and the scope of impact of sector-specific regulation on the business activities of these entities); second, differences of a structural nature (different dominant form of operation, capital structure, scope of control and decision-making powers of members, and the extent of public participation): and third, differences of a subjective nature (different purpose, subject, territorialscope of operation). As a result of the analysis of these disparities, the conclusion was drawn that Energy Communities are new actors in the energy market.
