The end of July, some 300 families will receive a very different electricity bill. The cost per kilowatt will be zero since it comes from your own solar panels. The difference with the 200,500 Spanish households that already enjoy energy self-consumption in Spain is that the solar panels of these families are not on the roofs of their homes, not even on nearby shared roof terraces. They are, in some cases, hundreds of kilometers from the place where they consume energy. They are the first clients of a curious company, Comunidad Solar, which was born a couple of years ago promoted, among others, by the businessman Eugenio García Calderón or the experts in the sector Antonio Carrión and Eduardo Soria, currently also directors of renewables. Energy Circle Energy. “We think that technology allows you to be the owner of your own energy and stop depending so much on large companies even if you do not have a single-family home, if you own a small business in the city center and even if you live as a renter.
Explains Eugenio García Calderón. This is the incipient concept of remote consumption. The model proposed by Comunidad Solar is to offer customers throughout Spain the right for 30 years to a part of the energy production of Job Function Email Database three solar parks and a hydraulic power plant located in Murcia and Río Pisuerga (Palencia) respectively. The initial investment is around 5,000 euros, it is amortized in 7 years and gives the right to use for 30 years. Aware of the reluctance that the model can generate, to launch the first parks and the small hydraulic plant were acquired and financed by the company itself. The idea is that in the future the community members themselves (as they call the clients) will be the promoters of the energy park in which they will later participate. Something similar to housing in cooperatives.

The savings are not like those provided by a solar panel on your own roof, since here, although the cost of energy is zero euros, you have to pay tolls, taxes, etc. to transport energy. “We function as intermediaries for the management of clients' production and consumption; Our technology allows for hourly monitoring and both the surpluses in the hours of greatest production and the light consumed when the panels do not generate are paid to the market hour by hour,” explains the founder of Comunidad Solar. He assures that a tenant can contract this and if he moves house, he can take the contract to his new address.The decision to join this system must be considered and the calculations made well, because in case of regret, the company does not repurchase the plates or shares acquired. Of course, it allows them to be sold to other interested parties.
