A business plan to…
To create a energetically self sustainable village. Our mission is to power our village with renewables, promoting security, climate action, community cohesion, and inspiration for future generations. We dream of a community where surplus energy is distributed among neighbours and institutions, reducing costs, creating a sustainable business model, creating surplus to reinvest in more renewable energies, energy efficiency and regenerative local development. We want our village and district to have regenerative development in all aspects of life, and our energy community is one of the most important pillars for it.
"The ENERCOM Facility grant has empowered us to continue our energy community building process, specifically, to access the learning programme, which will allow us to define with more precision the course of action in the medium and long run. Our dream will come true faster then expected, and we will be able to help others around us who'd like to tailor their own local renewable energy community."
Ana Mendes - Communication
Impact in the community
We are neighbours, institutions and local administration working together to make our vision of making this village and district self sustainable in energy, connected to the grid, reducing costs and creating income for the local community, while demonstrating how each territory can install their own energy community, in a responsible manner.
