C.E.R. - Energy Communities

Become an active part of a sustainable and innovative energy revolution

C.E.R. are energy communities of citizens, companies and public bodies that collaborate to produce, consume and manage renewable energy at a local level. Thanks to our photovoltaic systems we can reduce costs, reduce CO2 emissions and promote a greener future for everyone.

Why participate in Energy Communities?

Energy saving

Thanks to the clean energy of the sun, photovoltaic systems allow you to significantly lower your energy bill.

Environmental sustainability

Using solar energy means reducing the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy autonomy

Energy communities promote local energy independence, reducing dependence on large energy companies and market price fluctuations.

Incentives and concessions

Participating in a C.E.R., by installing photovoltaic systems, allows access to various incentives and better rates for the energy produced and shared.

Joining a C.E.R. means embracing a sustainable and responsible future. It is not just an economic investment, but a concrete commitment to the environment and future generations.

Energy Communities FAQs

We answer some questions about Energy Communities

Who can be part of an Energy Community?

Private citizens, businesses, public bodies and non-profit organisations can be part of a Energy Communities. Participation is open to anyone who wants to contribute to the production and consumption of renewable energy. You can be a producer, a consumer or both. The only constraint for participants in the same C.E.R. is to refer to the same primary electrical distribution cabin; check yours at the following maps.

How do I save money thanks to Energy Communities?

You have a twenty-year incentive with a value between €60/MWh and €120/MWh, depending on the size of the system and the market value of the energy. For photovoltaic systems, there is a further increase of up to €10/MWh depending on the geographical location. This incentive applies to the energy that you produce and is self-consumed (by you or another member of the energy community). In addition, you can still sell excess energy thanks to the Dedicated Withdrawal. So there are no disadvantages of any kind in setting up a C.E.R.!

How does energy sharing work?

Self-consumption for members of the energy community is fictitious. If producer A feeds electricity into the grid and at the same time consumer B uses electricity, then the condition of self-consumption of the C.E.R. occurs. For this very reason, it is advisable to change your energy habits and try to consume mainly in the F1 time slot from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (the time when photovoltaic systems produce energy).

What incentives are available for Energy Communities located in municipalities with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants?

For only C.E.R. whose production plants are located in municipalities with a population of less than 5,000 inhabitants, a capital contribution is foreseen, equal to 40% of the investment cost, to be drawn from the resources of the PNRR.

Can I install a storage system or a charging station?

Absolutely yes. Both storage systems and charging stations for electric cars are compatible with C.E.R. incentives. The energy stored or used to charge your electric vehicle will be considered as shared energy within the Energy Community.
