What is an energy community?<\/h2>\n\n
An energy community<\/strong> is an organization formed by neighbors, administrations or small companies that decide to share a renewable energy<\/strong> installation, usually solar photovoltaic. Its objective is not to obtain economic benefit, but to generate savings, energy efficiency and sustainability for all participants. <\/p>\n\n The main benefits are:<\/p>\n\n In Girona, this model is growing strongly in both rural and urban municipalities.<\/p>\n\n The energy community of Sant Miquel de Campmajor has a 3.5 kWp<\/strong> installation, with an environmental impact equivalent to the absorption of 10 mature trees<\/strong> per year. The project supplies residents and municipal facilities with clean energy and is a great example of sustainability in a rural environment. <\/p>\n\n In the heart of the city, Figueres has launched an energy community with an installed capacity of 3.7 kWp<\/strong>, equivalent to 11 mature trees<\/strong>. This project reduces emissions in the city and shows how solar energy can be integrated into urban areas to improve air quality and generate savings. <\/p>\n\n With an installation of 3.8 kWp<\/strong> (11 equivalent trees), Cornell\u00e0 del Terri is committed to collective self-consumption for residents and municipal services. The energy community has become a local benchmark for sustainability and citizen participation. <\/p>\n\n A 4.3 kWp<\/strong> installation, equivalent to 13 mature trees<\/strong>, has been promoted in this coastal municipality. The Tossa de Mar energy community supplies municipal buildings and neighbors, reinforcing the municipality’s commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism. <\/p>\n\n Montagut has one of the most outstanding energy communities in the rural area, with 5.5 kWp<\/strong> of power and an environmental benefit equivalent to 38 mature trees<\/strong>. This project reflects how small towns can also lead the energy transition. <\/p>\n\n In this mountain environment, Oix has developed a 5.5 kWp<\/strong> energy community, with an environmental saving similar to 17 mature trees<\/strong>. An example of integration of renewable energies in natural spaces with low visual impact. <\/p>\n\n The municipality of Pals has an installation of 6.2 kWp<\/strong>, which means a reduction of emissions equivalent to 36 mature trees<\/strong>. The project supplies both public facilities and residents, consolidating a model of local sustainability. <\/p>\n\n With an installation of 13.5 kWp<\/strong>, this energy community is the most powerful among the cases in Girona. Its impact is equivalent to 42 mature trees<\/strong> and reinforces the role of the city council as a driver of the energy transition in the region. <\/p>\n\n Although each municipality has different characteristics, all projects share a number of key benefits:<\/p>\n\n The above examples demonstrate that it is possible to implement collective self-consumption projects in large, medium and small municipalities.<\/p>\n\n \ud83d\udc49 If you are thinking of promoting an energy community in your municipality, neighborhood or community of neighbors, we can help you in all phases:<\/p>\n\n\n
