Electric Mobility
The challenge of sustainable mobility invites us all to accept our responsibility and commitment to the environment. Responsible use of electric vehicles is a great opportunity to support the transition toward a more efficient and decarbonised energy model.
Hacendera Solar, first model of community self-sufficiency
Red Eléctrica is working with Megara Energía and the municipality of Castilfrío de la Sierra (Soria) to launch the first local energy community through the pilot project "Hacendera Solar".
Its main objective is to establish a rural energy community prototype based on collective self-sufficiency, supported by the electrical grid, and a participatory model that involves the local council and the local population in its management. As well as meeting energy demands, the design of this prototype aims to reduce carbon emissions along with the energy expenditure of the municipality and its inhabitants.
Analysing new scenarios for connected self-sufficiency from the perspective of the system operator will provide Red Eléctrica with a real-time picture of the production of this type of distributed energy and allow it to quantify the achievement of national and community renewable energy production targets.
