Promoting Effective Generation and Sustainable USes of electricity

The growing power consumption in already fragile territories, as rural area and islands could benefits by the technological development that the RES are bringing. In particular the opportunity to use in a more efficient RES, already present in the MED territories (solar, biomass…) through the application of smart technology, might represent a step forward towards a sustainable and inclusive growth. Unfortunately, the organization of deployment, exploitation and operation models as the use of the microgrids is not yet in its full development stage. Even though the technology is available and examples of regulations start to be present, absences of an enabling environment that can foster a common market represent the main challenge. The local institutions can lead the change stimulating the business environment. Examples of applications and business models have been already experienced and a well-represented consortium in terms of stakeholder interest, led by the active Municipality of Potenza can contribute to propose a working model with all the necessary framework arrangements. Therefore the consortium lunch PEGASUS aiming to combine, test and transfer previous experience in a new full fledge package of tools for the Local Public Sector in the MED area: from conceptualization, through organize till financial promotion. This also involving all the stakeholders including end-users and business community: “Jointly to increase the share of the RES in the involved territories”.
