BEST4Energy is conceived as an innovative pilot initiative to assess, within the broader development of CER Lucense 1923, the technical and financial viability of coupling BESS with PV plants in a local REC. The aim is to maximise the positive impacts of REC PV plants in the territories where they are installed. The regional setting reflects the characteristics of many medium-density Italian industrial areas: a mix of residential users, SMEs, and larger industries. Yet, the adoption of shared BESSs, especially those designed to optimize self-consumption, deliver grid services, and ensure a fair distribution of energy benefits, remains largely unexplored in this context. BEST4Energy is an innovative initiative in order to strongly support the whole development of nr 6, 1MW-sized PV power plants to be conferred to CER Lucense.
Impact in the community
Currently, CER Lucense expects first-year revenues from incentives of approximately €50k to €70k, to be fully reinvested in local projects and communities. BEST4Energy aims at reaching an average energy-sharing threshold of over 75% for each local configuration (starting from an average target of 55-60% without any BESS), to generate stronger incentives for local reinvestment. Based on our estimates, the economic value of these locally invested incentives could amount to over €800k per year, if the goals of the project will be reached.
