A method for managing the supply of electric energy to a community of users (UP, UP, . . . UPN) includes determining a supply, to each user of the community of users (UP, UP, . . . UPN), of a combination of electric energy coming from at least one system for producing energy from a local source () and from the at least one system for supplying energy managed by an external distributor (), wherein the combination of electric energy can be determined specifically for each user; adjusting, for each user of the community of users, the supply of the fraction of electric energy coming from the local source (), as a function of the electric energy coming from the local source () to be distributed to the other users of the community of users (UP, UP, . . . UPN), so as to give priority to taking electric energy directly from the system for producing energy from a local source () over the at least one system for supplying electric energy managed by an external distributor ().
