ENERGY COMMUNITIES

An energy community is a place where mutual responsibility and collective commitment are created through the value of shared energy contributed by each participant.

Access is free and managed through the MyCer platform.

Turn your electricity consumption into a source of value and sustainable development for your local community

Whether you are a company, a public or private local authority, or a private citizen, EnergRed has created the national Care&Share® Energy Community, which you can join free of charge.

You will benefit from shared energy through the energy node configured in your local area.

Participants in the community can receive up to €80 for every MWh drawn from the grid, turning their electricity bill into value that can be invested in social impact projects or initiatives to fight energy poverty.

What is an Energy Community?

An energy community is a legal entity based on open and voluntary participation, whose main goal is not financial profit but the creation of environmental, economic, and social benefits for its members and the territory where it operates.
To preserve the non-profit nature of energy communities, companies operating in the energy sector (suppliers or ESCOs) cannot participate as members, although they may provide services and infrastructure.

The advantage of shared energy What is the incentive, and how is it calculated?

Shared energy is not physically identifiable.

It is a value calculated through an algorithm based on hourly measurements. By installing meters on each user that produces or consumes energy within the community, it is possible to determine every hour how much renewable energy is produced and how much is consumed by community members.

Shared energy corresponds, for each hour, to the lower value between the energy produced and the energy consumed.
The incentive tariff applied to shared electricity depends on the size of the system and the price of energy.

To maximize the value generated by an energy community, systems must be properly sized and consumption carefully monitored.

Who are the actors in an energy community?

Producer

Builds and manages renewable energy plants that generate electricity for the community.

Prosumer

In the case of SEU-configured systems, this is the user who directly self-consumes the energy produced by their renewable energy plant.

Consumer

Companies, households, electric vehicle charging stations, or public services that cannot or do not wish to install renewable energy systems.

EC Manager

The Energy Community Manager is the entity responsible for managing the energy community.

Benefits shared among the participants

For everyone

Both producers and consumers can receive a share of the incentives provided by the Italian GSE, proportional to the amount of shared energy.

PROSUMER

Prosumers achieve significant savings thanks to the share of energy they self-consume, which can be free or at a reduced cost.

TITOLARI AREE

The community may pay a lease fee to owners who provide land or areas suitable for building renewable energy plants.

We will study consumption, plant size, and shared benefits together.

How can I join or participate?

You can join the energy community simply by contributing your electricity consumption.

Areas or surfaces

You can participate by providing industrial areas, company roofs, warehouses, or land suitable for building renewable energy plants.

Energy consumption

You can join by contributing your electricity consumption, which is essential to enable energy sharing.

Existing systems

You can join by contributing your existing renewable energy system connected to the grid or used for self-consumption.

National Care&Share® Energy Community

With our model there are no financial or management burdens and no access costs.
You can join freely and benefit from incentives and the Care&Share® contribution for 20 years.

Partner for ENERGY communities

We are committed to bringing the energy transition to people and businesses together with local associations and utilities in Italy and Europe.

With CNA Bologna, we support entrepreneurs in the creation and management of energy communities that seek to share benefits with local areas.

We provide our expertise and experience to researchers in the LIGHTNESS program to create the first European energy communities.

We are qualified partners in the European SUN4U project, which aims to support the growth of CERs in Italy by promoting their identification and adoption.

Join the Care&Share energy community

If you have electricity consumption, land or surface area, or a renewable energy production plant, we will invest in the community by managing it, building new plants, supporting impactful initiatives, and ensuring citizens benefit from shared energy.
