CM2023-08 - Regional case in Spain: photovoltaic energy with user and consumer structures (SRL 4-6)

Case based on an Energy Self-Supply Project where the need owners are at the centre. It includes a diversity of energy supplies, 80% of the real needs is going to be covered by a photovoltaic energy field that has already started its construction work. The case is also already part of the Project Micro4Biogas (REPowerEU programme). There is also a consumer structure already created. Our goal is to contribute to the portfolio of transition systems, being part of a project with other regions with similar conditions to our case study.
