The DL 162/19 (Art. 42bis) has transposed Directive 2018/2001 RED II, introducing Renewable Energy Communities (CER).

CERs are associations of citizens, businesses, local authorities, and territorial bodies that come together to produce and share electricity from renewable sources, meeting their own energy needs.

DBA PRO. has established an interdisciplinary team (technical, economic, and legal) to analyze regulations and develop application models for Renewable Energy Communities (CERs).

Some recent references related to services developed in the field of renewable energy and Renewable Energy Communities:

1.     FONDAZIONE CARIVERONA – Advisory assignment for the establishment of 5 CERs in the Province of Belluno
Technical, legal, and tax advisory service for the creation of 5 CERs, including CER Belluno – Dolomiti ETS, which promotes energy self-sufficiency, decarbonization, and ecological transition in the Belluno area.

2.     ACSM – Masterplan for the development of 2 CERs in Fiera di Primiero area
Analysis of electricity consumption in public buildings and development of renewable energy plants for two CERs, including simulations on energy production, self-consumption configurations, and incentive tariffs.
An economic-financial plan for the project was also developed.

3.     Parish of Ospedaletto Gemona del Friuli – Definition of the Parish CER Model
Analysis of electricity consumption in parish buildings and simulation of photovoltaic systems to reduce energy costs. A social-purpose CER model was developed, incorporating an innovative Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model for energy exchange.

4.     Consorzio CEV – Distributed Self-Consumption System for the Province of Latina
Self-consumption project for public buildings, including energy consumption analysis and photovoltaic system simulations. The involvement of a public-private partnership was also assessed.

5.     Municipality of Porto Tolle – Energy Masterplan
Study of the area's morphology to identify renewable energy sources (photovoltaic and geothermal), with the creation of a CER and economic return simulations based on incentive tariffs.

6.     Large Company in the Province of Treviso (confidential) – CER with Employees
CER project for company employees, featuring photovoltaic and geothermal plants for energy sharing between company facilities. The company allocates excess energy production to employees as part of a corporate welfare program.

7.     CER Industrial Areas of Lazio
Established on the initiative of the Lazio Industrial Consortium to enhance the attractiveness of the region’s industrial areas through the efficient and shared management of energy, while also promoting the dissemination of best practices for the sustainable transition of the companies located there.

8.     CER San Vendemiano Climate-Neutral Smart City
The CER San Vendemiano association promotes in its statute the dissemination of technologies and the development of infrastructures aimed at the progressive reduction of the carbon footprint of activities carried out within its Territorial Area, with the goal of contributing to the achievement of climate neutrality objectives set at national and EU level, as well as fostering innovative models of territorial management inspired by the Smart City approach.
