Feasibility, governance, design, funding and commissioning of local and municipal energy communities.
Contact usWe offer engineering and consulting services specialising in Local Energy Communities (LEC) and Municipal Energy Communities (MEC), supporting public administrations, companies, cooperatives and organisations that want to promote a more sustainable, efficient and participatory energy model.
Our goal is to facilitate the creation of viable, efficient energy communities adapted to each area, contributing to decarbonisation, the optimisation of energy resources and the active participation of citizens in the new energy model.
Energy Communities are an energy management model based on the active participation of citizens, public administrations, businesses and other local stakeholders in the production, management, distribution and consumption of renewable energy. Driven by the European and Spanish regulatory framework, they are a strategic tool to accelerate the energy transition, support decarbonisation and foster more sustainable, resilient and participatory local development.
An energy community is a legal entity based on open and voluntary participation, with democratic governance, that brings together local stakeholders to produce, share and manage renewable energy. Its aim is to generate environmental, social and economic benefits through shared self-consumption, renewable generation, storage, energy efficiency, electric mobility and other energy services.
For local councils, energy communities are an opportunity to lead the municipality's energy transition, encourage citizen participation and reduce energy dependence. Achieving this requires rigorous technical planning to ensure the project's feasibility, from initial analysis and sizing of the installations to construction and start-up.
A strategic funding opportunity for innovation, digitalisation, sustainability and competitiveness projects. Non-repayable grants and other financial instruments reduce the initial investment and accelerate energy efficiency and circular economy projects.
Channels Next Generation EU funds in Spain through programmes such as the PERTE, ICO credit lines and CDTI grants, which help finance innovation, sustainability and growth projects.
Through Next Generation EU funds and agencies such as ACCIÓ, it promotes grant schemes and financing instruments for new projects that improve the competitiveness and sustainable growth of Catalan businesses.
The Comunitat Energètica .cat platform, promoted by the Catalan Energy Institute (ICAEN), is the main point of reference for promoting energy communities in Catalonia.
It acts as a repository bringing together hundreds of initiatives, organisations and stakeholders, and connects citizens, businesses and authorities interested in shared renewable energy projects.
Definition of the energy community model, technical and economic studies and structuring of member participation.
Construction of the installations, activation of shared self-consumption and start of renewable generation among the participants.
Optimisation of energy management, broader participation and the addition of new services such as storage or electric mobility.
Our way of working is structured in phases that allow us to offer a comprehensive service, from the initial analysis to project follow-up after completion, ensuring technical, administrative and financial control throughout the process.
Kick-off meetings, collection of consumption data, analysis of roofs or land, renewable resource study, analysis of the electrical grid, preliminary economic study, risk identification and feasibility report.
Definition of the legal model, energy sharing scheme, participatory sessions, drafting of articles of association, support with incorporation and coordination with legal advisers.
Sizing of the installation, production simulations, self-consumption calculation, equipment specification, single-line diagrams, preliminary design and preliminary budget.
