The second Summit of Energy Communities will meet in Toledo on 24 September to address energy democratisation and strengthen support for community-led renewable initiatives across Spain.
The Pueblo Verde de Almonte project in Huelva is expected to supply more than 3,500 households and businesses from 2025. With 1.45 megawatts of capacity, it is set to become the country‘s largest solar community.
Two out of three Spanish municipalities now offer tax reductions for installing photovoltaic self-consumption systems. The number has grown steadily in recent years as local governments move to support solar uptake.
Self-consumption from photovoltaic systems is clearly lagging behind the statutory targets. This is confirmed by a recent report by APPA Renovables. According to the industry association, the regulatory authority urgently needs to take measures to promote self-consumption again.
