On the 1st of January 2020, a new legislative framework regulating collective self-consumption and renewable energy communities entered into force. This framework allows collective investment in RE assets and sharing of benefits. It also allows distributed consumption and generation although subjected to geographical distance constraints.
In the Lisbon pilot of the InteGRIDy project, a Building Energy Management System (BEMS) tool was implemented that provides tips on how to save in the electricity bill, optimizing for local use of photovoltaic electricity, shifting consumption to schedules with lower tariffs and using the energy stored in ice banks as flexible load.
The restricted access of Lisbon Observatories, developed by Lisboa E-Nova, will also be presented. This tool displays electricity consumption and its cost on a platform that is easy to handle and with a powerful visualization tool, for easy data interpretation, of one or more buildings, for entities that manage multiple buildings.
Agenda:
1. Legislative Framework – Collective Self Consumption & Energy Communities
2. Lisbon Pilot Within InteGRIDy Project: Value proposition, objectives & results achieved
3. Lisbon Observatory Platform: Who can use, why, benefits?
