Asociación Canaria de Energías Renovables

ACER y ECORYS han sido adjudicatarios, junto con otras 14 organizaciones de países europeos lideradas por la Freie Universität de Berlín, del proyecto H2020 “Community Energy for the uptake of RES in the electricity sector. Connecting long-term visions with short term actions – COME RES” de la Unión Europea (UE).

Uno de los principales objetivos del proyecto COME RES es identificar y difundir las mejores prácticas que hayan tenido éxito en la constitución de comunidades energéticas renovables en algunas regiones, incluyendo los procesos políticos, sociales y ambientales que influyen su desarrollo y, en paralelo, generar un diálogo para trasladar estas experiencias a otras regiones donde su implantación es todavía incipiente.

Las Islas Canarias han sido seleccionadas como región objetivo en el marco de COME RES. La finalidad última del proyecto consistirá en identificar y estudiar las potencialidades y barreras existentes para el desarrollo de las comunidades energéticas tal y como son definidas en la nueva Directiva sobre Energías Renovables de la UE; analizarlas a fondo con la participación abierta a todos los actores del mercado y apoyar el proceso de aceptación de estas a nivel político-social, de la comunidad y del mercado.

The Horizon 2020 project COME RES started on September 1, 2020 and has a duration of 30 months. COME RES aims to facilitate the market uptake of RES in the electricity sector by supporting, with a set of specific activities, the implementation of the provisions for renewable energy communities (RECs) as defined in the new Renewable Energy Directive (EU) 2018/2001 to be transposed by the Member states by June 30, 2021. Taking a multi- and transdisciplinary approach, COME RES aids the development of RECs in nine European countries (BE, DE, IT, LV, NL, NO, PL, PT, SP).

COME RES covers different socio-technological systems including community PV, wind (onshore), storage and integrated solutions.

The countries selected range from pioneers that have gained broad experience of community energy (CE) to countries that are just beginning to look at CE. COME RES analyses political, administrative, legal, socioeconomic, spatial and environmental characteristics, and the reasons for the slow deployment of RECs in selected target regions.

La mesa de España está coordinada por ECORYS en cooperación con ACER (Asociación Canaria de Energías Renovables)

Objetivos de las Mesas:

• intercambiar experiencias
• ayudar a identificar las barreras y los impulsores de la energía comunitaria en la(s) región(es) objetivo
• ayudar a identificar medidas y conceptos probados e innovadores para promover la energía comunitaria
• ayudar a identificar y seleccionar casos de buenas prácticas
• explorar las posibilidades de transferir buenas prácticas y conceptos desde/hacia otras regiones
• examinar las conclusiones y resultados (provisionales) del proyecto
• apoyar a los socios del proyecto COME RES en la difusión de los resultados del proyecto
• debatir la transposición y aplicación del paquete de energía limpia y sus disposiciones para la energía comunitaria en España
• hablar de posibles soluciones para mejorar el desarrollo de la energía comunitaria en las Islas Baleares, las Islas Canarias y más allá

Our objectives will be reached by:

• analysing the potentials, barriers and drivers for RECs in the target regions,
• carrying out stakeholder dialogues,
• developing regional action plans and business-model proposals for selected target regions,
• examining good/best practice cases that are transferable to specific local, regional and national contexts,
• initiating transfers of best practice solutions via policy labs supported by capacity development and training and Developing a renewable energy community platform

In Spain, the thematic focus of our work is on community energy, particularly in the field of electricity. Furthermore, COME RES has a specific focus on a number of target regions where community energy has the potential to be further developed and model regions where community energy is in a more advanced stage of development. In the case of Spain, Canary Islands and Balearic Islands serve as a target regions and Valencia as a model region.
The consortium synchronises project activities with the transposition/implementation of the Clean Energy Package and its provisions for RECs in policy labs. Policy lessons with validity across Europe will be drawn and recommendations proposed.
COME RES project involves directly market actors and other stakeholders and organises regular, solution-oriented stakeholder dialogues to co-create solutions to overcome existing barriers for the growth of community energy. To this purpose, in each country so called country desks will be set up. These can be regarded as informal dialogue fora involving the national COME RES project partners, community energy organisations, other key actors and market players from specific target regions and beyond
