Renewable energies are obtained from inexhaustible natural sources, generating electricity without contributing to global warming. Energy self-consumption is especially interesting due to the high efficiency levels and savings attained.
On February 1, the European Investment Bank (EIB) organized in Madrid the information day of the ELENA subsidy mechanism, in which the Extremadura Energy Agency (AGENEX) has been invited to explain the experience carried out in Extremadura.
Extremadura reached an electrical energy production of 26,251 GWh in 2022, which is 6.33% more than in the previous year, a new all-time high, and exceeding regional demand by 561%. The production of renewable origin accounts for 217 percent of the demand. Only with photovoltaic energy is 148% of the regional demand reached.
Both projects are led by Agenex, and deal with important issues in our region such as consumption monitoring in buildings and energy communities.
The Final Conference of the project brought together in Rome the European partners and main actors who exposed the enormous potential of the sector for the generation of renewable energy and its use in the different production systems.
In 2022, the record for installed megawatts and investment was broken again and more than 5,000 self-consumption installations were legalized. A new regulation was also approved to regulate the use of lithium and another that declares the production of hydrogen to be of general interest.
The Agenex Assembly has authorized the signing of two projects, SahreRES and MonitorEE, for the active participation of the Energy Communities in the energy system and the monitoring of the energy rehabilitation of existing buildings and their performance.
President of the region advances that 2,500 direct jobs would be created, 20,000 during construction, and an investment of 10,000 million euros.
For the third year in a row, it exceeds the annual goal of putting around 1,000 new MW into service. With 5,165 MW in operation, it continues to be the first region in terms of installed power.
They will share all the energy produced by several photovoltaic installations and a solar façade, thanks to the European Project Innoinvest .
The final event of the European project AÚNA, which will take place on September 21 and 22 at the headquarters of the Official College of Architects of Madrid, will be attended by 200 agents from the sector.
