L’ENERGÈTICA (GENERALITAT OF CATALONIA)
ACTIVITIES
-Commercialising electricity
-Work in progress: Distribution of electricity (the Parliament of Catalonia has asked l’Energètica to assume the functions of electric distribution to give support to the municipal distribution networks and to facilitate the access of renewable projects in the net. They are currently changing the Social Bylaws of the company. ATTENTION!: CHANGE O PARADIGM! Distribution is: construction, operation and care of the medium and low tension lines of electricity to final users.
VALUES
ENERGY SOVEREIGNTY: Consume clean energy in proximity to kilometer 0. Acting on the electrification of consumption, electric mobility with installation of recharging points, storage of energy, and development of new models of management, like the energy communities or the aggregation of energy so that different energetic models can move forward.
TERRITORIAL EQUILIBRIUM: Production of local energy, decentralised and participated that guaranties social cohesion and territorial equilibrium. Dialogue and agreements with the councils. Priority is using spaces already HUMANISED or DEGRADED when placing new energy installations.
SOCIAL JUSTICE: Surpluses of public buildings, destined to provide electric energy to vulnerable families in a radius of 2 Km (what the law states) so that they do not have to renounce to the social bonus.
