ARINDEC-GRANCANARIA - Industrial Energy Community powered by Renewable Energies in the Arinaga Industrial Area

The project’s objective is to create a favourable environment for the implementation of an industrial energy community in the Arinaga Industrial Park, in which energy is generated, stored and consumed locally (690 companies).
One of the key points is the establishment of a local energy market. A model has to be identified in order to maximize the benefit of the community, while minimizing the risk of disagreements between members & encouraging the integration of new renewable systems.
This pilot project can serve as a reference to determine the key aspects for the proper development of renewable energy communities in Spain.
