Pilot Project

E-REDES, in accordance with the provisions of the previous version of the Electricity Self-Consumption Regulation (RAC), presented ERSE with a proposal for a pilot project to test two rules for sharing energy in self-consumption, complementary to the rules for sharing through fixed or proportional coefficients that had been defined, and based on hierarchical algorithms and dynamic fixing of energy sharing.

Following this proposal, ERSE approved the E-REDES Pilot Project on self-consumption energy-sharing models in September 2022, defining that the self-consumption projects participating in the pilot project would be approved by ERSE, and since then 6 projects have been approved.

With the new version of the RAC (Regulation no. 815/2023), the sharing models being tested in the pilot project are now part of the regulation and are defined as the Hierarchical Sharing Model (Article 31) and the Dynamic Sharing Model (Article 32). It should be noted that the regulation only introduces guidelines for these sharing models, leaving room for ERSE to approve the conclusions and proposals of the ongoing E-REDES pilot project.

For dynamic sharing:

The model and format of the data communicated by E-REDES to EGAC and to be communicated by EGAC to E-REDES, for the purposes of energy sharing, as well as the deadlines for communicating energy data and coefficients are defined in Collective Self-Consumption - Dynamic Sharing and are characterised in the Coefficients files per pair of installations and Data made available to EGAC.
