Citizens, businesses & public bodies
Renewable Energy Communities
Shared energy at the service of communities — and an investment opportunity too.
The problem
Locally produced renewable energy that isn’t shared is a missed opportunity. Renewable Energy Communities allow citizens, businesses and public bodies connected to the same primary substation to produce and share clean energy, receiving an incentive on shared energy and generating value for the local area.
The New Energy solution
New Energy supports the whole journey: feasibility study and primary-substation check, design and construction of the plants, setting up the legal entity and distribution rules, GSE procedures and ongoing operation of the community. For municipalities, apartment buildings, businesses and households.
Benefits
- ✓ Multi-year incentive on shared energy, granted by the GSE
- ✓ Lower bills for all members, even without a plant of their own
- ✓ Social and environmental value that stays in the community
FAQs
What is a Renewable Energy Community? +
It is a legal entity in which citizens, businesses and local authorities connected to the same primary substation produce and share renewable energy. The shared energy receives an incentive from the GSE, distributed among members according to the community’s rules.
Who can join? +
Households, apartment buildings, small and medium-sized businesses, municipalities, religious bodies and non-profits, either as producers (with a plant) or simply as consumers. Large companies may take part within the limits set by regulation.
Do I need my own plant to join a REC? +
No: you can join as a consumer only and benefit from a share of the incentive on shared energy. Those who own or build a plant contribute to production and receive a larger share.
How are incentives shared? +
According to the community’s statute and rules, which set the shares for producers, consumers and social purposes in the area. New Energy helps define transparent and fair rules.
What does New Energy do for a REC? +
We support the whole journey: feasibility study and primary-substation check, design and construction of the plants, setting up the legal entity, GSE procedures and ongoing operational management of the community.
How long does the incentive last? +
The incentive on shared energy is granted by the GSE for a multi-year period set by current regulation, starting from the commissioning of the configuration. We check the conditions applicable to your case in the feasibility study.
