What key aspects are evaluated in an energy audit?
In the energy audit, factors such as electrical and thermal consumption, equipment usage, operating schedules, and energy losses are analyzed.
Why is it important to conduct an energy audit in your company?
An energy audit is the first step to detect inefficiencies in consumption and propose savings solutions.
What environmental benefits does energy self-consumption offer?
Self-consumption contributes significantly to the transition towards a more sustainable energy model.
How does self-consumption affect dependence on the traditional electricity grid?
Self-consumption reduces dependence on the traditional electricity grid, as it allows direct consumption of generated energy.
What types of self-consumption exist?
There are two main types: self-consumption without surplus and self-consumption with surplus.
What are the main advantages of self-consumption for a company?
Economic savings on electricity bills, greater energy independence, reduction of carbon footprint, and the possibility of economic compensation for surplus energy.
What is energy self-consumption?
Energy self-consumption is the production of energy for personal use, generally through installations connected to internal consumption networks.
What savings can self-consumption represent for an SME?
The savings depend on the size of the installation and the SME’s consumption, but it is estimated that it can reduce up to 30-50% of the annual electricity bill. Over time, you can recover the initial investment in the installation and continue saving on energy.
Are there any grants or subsidies for SMEs joining energy communities?
Yes, there are currently aids available at both national and regional levels in Spain, as well as European funds supporting the energy transition. These aids can cover everything from the installation of solar panels to incorporation into a network.
What economic benefits do energy communities provide to SMEs?
The main benefits are the reduction of energy costs, thanks to shared purchasing and the possible sale of surplus energy generated. Additionally, they can access specific subsidies and tax deductions for energy projects.
