The initiative, launched this year in collaboration with Goiener, closed its registration period in April. Today, the council announced that over 200 citizens have submitted applications, and that Goiener is now analyzing the data to determine the consumption habits and characteristics of potential members.
In the first phase of the project, approximately 150 homes and commercial establishments will be able to receive energy generated by the photovoltaic installations. Given that the number of applications received exceeds expectations, preference criteria and consumption profiles will be taken into account for selecting members, and if necessary, a lottery will be held, as announced by the council.
Once the final list of citizens who will be members of the energy community is determined, Goiener will contact them "gradually" starting in September to launch the association and "activate the community." The council emphasized that this analysis is "necessary" to distribute the energy generated by the solar panels installed on the roof of the Karela sports center as effectively as possible, as the installation has no storage capacity and the energy must be distributed immediately.
