L’ENERGÈTICA (GENERALITAT OF CATALONIA)
Source: https://lenergetica.cat/
Public company, participated 100% by the Generalitat of Catalonia, approved at the Parliament of Catalonia by a majority of 85% on July, the 8th, 2021, and created in October, 2022.
ACTIVITIES
-Generation
-Commercialisation
-In process: Distribution (the Parliament of Catalonia has entrusted l’Energètica to assume functions of electric distribution to give support to the municipal distribution networks and to facilitate the access of the renewables projects in the network). In process the modification of the Social Bylaws. ATTENTION!: CHANGE OF PARADIGM! Distribution is: construction, operation and care of the medium and low tension lines that supply electricity to final users.
VALUES
CLEAN ENERGY: Generation and Supply of solar, wind or hydraulic energy for the public services of Catalonia for 2050.
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.
