We had the opportunity to participate in the event New Challenges for the Energy Transition in the Local World, organized by the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB) the 25th of February, where our partner Joan Herrera presented the essential role of energy storage in the integration of renewables and the improvement of the competitiveness of the electricity system.
Distributed storage is not only a tool to improve energy efficiency, but is also a fundamental mechanism to guarantee a more flexible, digitalized and resilient network. Collaborative models and the participation of local communities in energy management are essential to move towards a more democratic and sustainable system.
Europe already knows it: Directive (EU) 2019/944 recognizes the right of consumers to store and share energy, and the recent Directive (EU) 2024/1711 reinforces this framework, expanding the concept of shared consumption and promoting new mechanisms for demand flexibility and distributed storage.
Together with municipalities, companies and sector players, we work to accelerate this transition, overcoming regulatory barriers and making the most of the potential of our territory.
Thanks to the AMB for creating this space for debate and collaboration.
