The Basque Energy Cluster (ACE), in collaboration with A3E (Asociación de Empresas de Eficiencia Energética - Association of Energy Efficiency Companies) and under the technological leadership of Carlo Gavazzi, has drafted an Expression of Interest titled “Promotion of the deployment of energy communities through innovative submetering technologies” to respond to the call for Energy Communities of the Ministry of Ecological Transition (MITECO). The Expression of Interest includes 12 Basque Energy Cluster members, including 6 SMEs and 4 knowledge agents as possible participants in these projects.
Collaboration between these organisations will enable the acceleration of the deployment of energy communities and, more specifically, submetering technologies. These will become a vector of change in the progress towards a more active role among consumers within the electric system, based on obtaining detailed consumption data, generating impact throughout the value chain, with a special focus on the consumer, and in line with the energy transition plans and goals.
Within the context of the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan, the Spanish Government seeks to place citizens at the centre of the energy system. This will be achieved by establishing measures that contribute to citizen participation in the energy sphere, distributed generation and the development of local energy communities, as well as new organisational models controlled mostly by citizens, SMEs, and local authorities to promote the deployment of renewable energies while generating financial and social benefits in their environment.
In order to guarantee the Plan’s effectiveness, MITECO has launched the call to collect essential information, which will allow the Government to autonomously build and subsequently develop the strategic lines of action within the field of energy communities, where appropriate.
Along these lines, ACE will continue to provide support in drawing up collaborative initiatives and projects with the aim of giving companies access to Next Generation EU funds, using mechanisms to be set up over the coming months.
