Self-consumption connected or not to the grid

Distributed generation consists of generating electricity through energy sources at a location near the point of consumption. This proximity of generation and consumption means that a direct connection to the distribution network (on grid) can be made, reducing electric power losses and avoiding the payment of tolls for access to the grid.

Distributed generation can be used in places that are connected to the on grid and that need to complete their supplies totally or partially through a self-supply solution, or for homes that are not connected to the off grid.

In off-grid systems, isolated electric power systems or micro-grids are installed to supply electricity.

Energy storage systems are also available that allow the storage of surplus electricity produced by renewable energy sources, so that it can be used when energy is not produced due to a lack of sun or wind.

ADVANTAGES FOR THE CUSTOMER

  • 01
    REDUCE YOUR ENERGY BILL through a PPA that allows you to obtain savings during the life of the project, avoiding network access tolls.
  • 02
    CERTAINTY IN ENERGY SPENDING. A long-term energy contract allows you to plan your energy expenses and reduce the risk derived from the volatility of the electricity market.
  • 03
    SIMPLICITY AND CLARITY IN THE CONTRACT AND GUARANTEES. We take care of all the formalities, execution of the works, monitoring, maintenance, etc., with transparent conditions and no small print.
  • 04
    SUSTAINABILITY. The self-consumption installation directly reduces CO2 and sulfur dioxide emissions among other polluting gases, reducing your company's carbon footprint.
  • 05
    REPUTATIONAL IMPROVEMENT. A commitment to efficiency, innovation and renewable energies increases corporate social responsibility and improves the brand image, adding a differential value that constitutes a plus to place the company in a strategic position.
  • 06
    SPACE UTILIZATION. A distributed generation installation often allows the use of wasted space on the ground, facade, roof or surrounding spaces.

We assume the costs of development, construction and operation of the facility

ACCIONA Energía offers distributed generation solutions through renewable self-consumption (wind, photovoltaic, among others) for both grid-connected and off-grid systems.

Based on the analysis of various factors such as the customer’s consumption profile, resource evaluation, land availability and local regulations, we develop customized solutions within the customer’s facilities (roofs, parking lots, etc.) or on land adjacent to the point of electricity consumption.

We also develop micro-grid solutions for off-grid installations, sizing and installing batteries and other backup systems to complement the installed power and avoid temporary outages.

In case that more energy is generated than is consumed at a given time, ACCIONA, through its marketing company, will be responsible for managing the surplus energy, injecting this unused energy into the grid and selling it on the electricity market.

The renewable project is developed, built and operated by ACCIONA, which assumes the development and installation costs and is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the project during its useful life.
