Amendolara

The CENERGAM Amendolarese Energy Community, based in the municipality of Amendolara, is one of the first renewable energy communities registered in Italy and certainly the first in Calabria. It was established through collaboration between the Calabrian branch of the prestigious “Anton Dohrn Zoological Station” – Naples, acting as a Prosumer, and the hosting municipality.

Its creation is part of the Crimac project – Centre for Advanced Marine Research and Infrastructure in Calabria, funded by the Ministry of University and Research.

Fotovoltaica Srl was responsible for the technical realization and the entire administrative process for commissioning the plants and obtaining recognition of the energy community by the Gse; having been specifically mandated to act as the Reference by the final customers and producers within the configuration.

The reference has the tasks of:

• communicating the list of members of the CER, specifying their type (producer and/or consumer);
• submitting the application to the Energy Services Manager (GSE) for the valorization and incentivization of shared electrical energy;
• receiving incentives from the GSE and distributing them among the CER members as established by the internal regulations.

 
Fotovoltaica Srl also offered its collaboration in determining the legal configuration for the establishment of the CER, including aspects related to the elements of the Statute model and internal Regulation.

Since CENERGAM was established during a transitional phase, with limitations related to the geographic perimeter of aggregation, defined by the secondary cabin, and the size of the individual plant not exceeding 200 kW, currently, in light of the publication of the CER DECREE, a process has been initiated to expand its membership base in order to involve the entire territory in a project of environmental policies and sustainability.
