Edison and Gabetti for renewable energy

Edison and Gabetti Lab have signed an agreement for the joint development of energy community initiatives in the condominium area in Italy. The partnership involves the installation of photovoltaic systems on the roofs of condominiums, which produce renewable energy for the benefit of the families who live there as members of the energy community.

Energy communities, encouraged by current legislation, are associations between producers and consumers (whether they are groups of people or companies) who are allowed to produce, store and sell self-produced electricity from renewable sources. The inhabitants of an apartment building, for example, can become an energy community by producing energy through photovoltaic panels on the roof of the building, offsetting their consumption and in the case of energy produced in excess of the building’s demand, sell it by putting it on the grid.

The agreement provides that Gabetti Lab – the first operator in the energy efficiency redevelopment of condominiums and residential units thanks to the management of business networks – promotes the initiative within its network of affiliates operating in the condominium administration sector. , identifying the condominiums in which to create the energy communities and that Edison installs and manages the maintenance of a photovoltaic system on the roof of the condominium at “zero cost” for those who live there, also recognizing an economic benefit to the energy community.

The economic benefit can be quantified, on average, in over 1 entire electricity bill out of 6 saved every year for 20 years for each member of the energy community. A saving that can further increase to double, thus halving the average annual electricity cost of a residential user, if the members of the community subscribe to Edison’s offer of electricity and gas and follow virtuous self-consumption behaviors
