Gestor energético, la figura clave para que tu comunidad energética se integre en tu proyecto y coordine la puesta en marcha

Cada vez se habla más de las comunidades energéticas y del autoconsumo colectivo en Canarias, pero existe una figura que muchos desconocen y que resulta esencial para que estos proyectos funcionen: el gestor energético.

En este artículo te explicamos qué es, qué funciones tiene y por qué en Lanzarote es imprescindible contar con uno si quieres que tu comunidad o tu empresa aproveche al máximo la energía solar.

En Lanzarote, donde el sol brilla más de 300 días al año, las comunidades energéticas asociadas a instalaciones fotovoltaicas se presentan como una solución ideal para reducir costes eléctricos, aumentar la independencia energética y contribuir a un futuro más sostenible.

The gestor energético es el profesional que se encarga de planificar, coordinar y optimizar todo lo relacionado con la energía en un edificio, comunidad de vecinos o empresa.

No se limita a instalar paneles solares: su trabajo abarca la parte técnica, administrativa, legal y económica, asegurando que el proyecto se desarrolle correctamente y que los usuarios realmente se beneficien del ahorro prometido.

Listen to the interview that the cadena Ser Lanzarote Has realised our partner, the engineer Norberto Dominguez, specialised in renewable energy, about energy communities.

Un gestor energético puede asumir distintas tareas según el proyecto, pero las más habituales son:

Estudio de viabilidad:

• Análisis del tejado
• Consumos de los vecinos
• Potencia óptima de la instalación.

Gestión administrativa y legal:

• Registro de autoconsumo compartido.
• Contratos de alquiler de cubierta o PPAs locales.
• Tramitación de permisos y legalización de la instalación.

Gestión económica:

• Cálculo de ahorros e ingresos.
• Reparto justo de la energía entre vecinos.
• Facturación interna y control de excedentes.

Tramitación de ayudas y subvenciones (IBI, IRPF, programas Next Generation en Canarias).

Supervisión y transparencia: Monitorización de la producción y comunicación periódica a los vecinos.

Revisa nuestro articulo acerca de las comunidades energéticas para una mayor comprensión del modelo

• Ahorro real en la factura eléctrica gracias a una gestión óptima.
• Tranquilidad administrativa: no tendrás que preocuparte por papeles ni registros.
• Acceso a subvenciones y bonificaciones que muchas comunidades pierden por desconocimiento.
• Transparencia en el reparto de energía y en los beneficios.
• Mayor rentabilidad para tu comunidad o empresa.

En Lanzarote, muchas comunidades disponen de grandes azoteas sin uso. Con un gestor energético, estas cubiertas se pueden convertir en una fuente de ahorro e incluso de ingresos, mediante:

• Instalaciones de autoconsumo colectivo.
• Cesión de tejados a empresas inversoras a cambio de alquiler.
• Modelos mixtos donde los vecinos disfrutan de energía barata sin necesidad de invertir.

Comunidades Energéticas en Lanzarote: una nueva forma de aprovechar la energía solar

En los últimos años, las Islas Canarias han apostado de forma decidida por la transición energética. En este contexto, surge un modelo innovador que está transformando la manera en que vecinos, empresas y administraciones consumen y producen energía: las comunidades energéticas.

En Lanzarote, donde el sol brilla más de 300 días al año, las comunidades energéticas asociadas a instalaciones fotovoltaicas se presentan como una solución ideal para reducir costes eléctricos, aumentar la independencia energética y contribuir a un futuro más sostenible.

Una comunidad energética es una asociación de personas físicas, pymes o entidades locales que se unen para producir, gestionar y consumir energía renovable de forma compartida.

Su objetivo no es únicamente económico, sino también social y ambiental:

• Reducir la factura de la luz.
• Fomentar el uso de energías limpias.
• Repartir de manera justa los beneficios de la producción fotovoltaica.
• Implicar a la ciudadanía en la transición energética.

En otras palabras, se trata de un modelo en el que la energía solar se convierte en un bien común, gestionado de manera democrática y cercana.

Listen to the interview that the cadena Ser Lanzarote Has realised our partner, the engineer Norberto Dominguez, specialised in renewable energy, about energy communities.

Aunque ambos modelos permiten compartir energía solar, existen diferencias importantes:

• Autoconsumo colectivo: un grupo de consumidores (vecinos de un edificio, por ejemplo) se conecta a una instalación solar común y reparte la energía en función de un coeficiente pactado.
• Comunidad energética: va más allá del autoconsumo eléctrico. Puede abarcar proyectos de almacenamiento, movilidad eléctrica o eficiencia energética. Además, el enfoque es más participativo, dando un papel activo a los socios en la toma de decisiones.

En Lanzarote, donde muchas viviendas están dispersas y no siempre es viable el autoconsumo colectivo clásico, la comunidad energética ofrece un modelo flexible que puede integrar tanto a vecinos como a pequeños negocios.

• Ahorro en la factura de la luz: Al producir electricidad localmente con placas solares, se reduce el consumo de la red y se estabilizan los costes frente a las subidas de precio.
• Aprovechamiento del sol de Lanzarote: La isla cuenta con una de las mayores radiaciones solares de Europa, lo que convierte a las instalaciones fotovoltaicas en una inversión altamente rentable.
• Independencia y resiliencia energética: Reducir la dependencia del sistema eléctrico insular (alimentado en gran parte por combustibles fósiles importados) aumenta la seguridad energética de la isla.
• Beneficio social y ambiental: Los ingresos y ahorros generados permanecen en la comunidad, y las emisiones de CO₂ disminuyen significativamente.
• Apoyo institucional y subvenciones: Existen programas europeos, estatales y autonómicos que impulsan la creación de comunidades energéticas, lo que facilita la financiación inicial.

En España, las comunidades energéticas están reguladas por la normativa europea y nacional sobre energías renovables. En Canarias, se están desarrollando proyectos piloto impulsados por el Gobierno autonómico y los ayuntamientos.

En Lanzarote, los ayuntamientos de municipios como Arrecife, San Bartolomé o Teguise están empezando a interesarse en este modelo, ya que permite crear proyectos locales de energía compartida que benefician tanto a familias como a pequeñas empresas.

Imaginemos un grupo de 30 familias y pequeños comercios de Arrecife que deciden crear una comunidad energética.

• Se instala una planta fotovoltaica en la cubierta de un colegio o edificio municipal.
• La energía producida se reparte entre los socios, en función de su participación.
• El ahorro medio puede llegar al 30-40% en la factura eléctrica.
• El excedente de energía se vierte a la red, generando ingresos adicionales.

De esta manera, la comunidad no solo reduce sus gastos, sino que también contribuye a que Lanzarote avance hacia un modelo energético más limpio y sostenible.

• Organización de los interesados: vecinos, empresas locales o instituciones.
• Estudio técnico y legal: análisis de consumos, localización de espacios para la instalación y modelo de gestión.
• Constitución legal de la comunidad: normalmente bajo forma de cooperativa o asociación sin ánimo de lucro.
• Instalación fotovoltaica y puesta en marcha.
• Gestión y participación activa: los socios deciden democráticamente cómo se reparte la energía y los beneficios.

Las comunidades energéticas en Lanzarote son una oportunidad única para aprovechar el sol de la isla de manera colaborativa y sostenible. A través de instalaciones fotovoltaicas compartidas, vecinos, pymes y administraciones pueden reducir su factura eléctrica, ganar independencia energética y contribuir a la lucha contra el cambio climático.

En un territorio insular como Lanzarote, donde la dependencia de los combustibles fósiles es todavía muy alta, este modelo no solo es beneficioso, sino necesario para avanzar hacia un futuro energético más limpio y justo.

WE HAVE A PROMOTION FOR LANZAROTE

After the approval of the Real Decreto 244/2019, shared or collective self-consumption is a reality in Spain.

Thanks to this, it is possible to share solar photovoltaic panel installations with other self-consumers. Collective self-consumption consists of an installation of photovoltaic solar panels, with the particularity that, regardless of who owns the solar installation, the production can be shared by different self-consumers (companies or individuals)

Listen to the interview that the cadena Ser Lanzarote Has realised our partner, the engineer Norberto Dominguez, specialised in renewable energy, about energy communities.

The installation of solar panels on the roof of a building common to all homes opens the doors to significant savings and greater energy efficiency.

This process requires a prior agreement between the neighbours, which demonstrates the collective interest in adopting sustainable practises.

Facilities in your building

The installation is made up of the same components as a basic installation, but expanding the capacity of the inverter, the wiring and the number of panels.

This guarantees energy generation in accordance with the collective needs of the building, thus maximizing the use of available solar resources.

Procedures with administrations and Endesa

In addition, the procedures with the different administrations or entities are carried out comprehensively through our company.

We take care of managing the entire bureaucratic process, from obtaining the necessary permits to connecting to the electrical grid, so that homeowners can enjoy the benefits of solar energy without complications.

Two modalities stand out in this approach to collective self-consumption

The first involves the direct use of the energy generated during the hours of maximum solar radiation, without injecting surpluses into the electrical grid.

The second modality, on the other hand, allows the injection of surpluses into the network for subsequent use or compensation, using a type of "virtual battery."

Distribution of the generated energy

The equitable distribution of energy between users is based on a formal agreement, ensuring transparency and fairness in the process.

All beneficiaries who participate in collective self-consumption must benefit from the same modality of self-consumption.

The adaptation of your contract to the self-consumption modality will be requested through the marketer or collectively through Of the self-consumption manager.

Collective self-consumption of less than 100 kW must follow the same administrative and authorisation procedure as individual self-consumption.

General conditions

Collective self-consumption without discharge or with an installed power of up to 15kW in urbanised areas is exempt from requesting access and connection permits.

All beneficiaries who participate in collective self-consumption must benefit from the same modality of self-consumption.

In the case of collective self-consumption in buildings subject to the Horizontal Property Law, they must also have the authorisation of the Board of Owners by a two-thirds majority.

What different agents or entities intervene in these facilities?

There are many factors that indicate in all processes and procedures, so it becomes vital to have the figure of the manager of self-consumption communities, which will be the subject of a separate article, and we now anticipate its main functions.

An energy community manager is the person or entity in charge of coordinating, administering and optimising the operation of an energy community, which is a collective model of production, management and consumption of energy, usually renewable (such as solar).

Main functions of the energy community manager:

1. Organisation and coordination: Facilitates the creation of the energy community, helps bring together participants (neighbours, companies, municipalities, etc.) and coordinates decisions between them.
2. Technical and operational management: Supervises the installation, maintenance and operation of shared energy systems (e.g., community solar panels).
3. Energy distribution: Controls how the energy generated is distributed among the members, seeking that everyone benefits equitably.
4. Consumption optimisation: Proposes strategies to improve the energy efficiency of the whole and reduce costs.
5. Tramitación legal y administrativa: Se encarga de permisos, licencias, subvenciones y el cumplimiento normativo.
6. Relación con terceros: Actúa como intermediario con las compañías eléctricas, organismos públicos y proveedores.

¿Por qué es importante este gestor?

Porque sin una buena gestión, una comunidad energética puede tener problemas de organización, técnicos o incluso legales. El gestor garantiza que todo funcione correctamente y que se maximicen los beneficios económicos, sociales y ambientales del modelo energético compartido.

How long does it take to recover the investment in solar panels?

Descubre cómo la amortización puede acelerar tus ahorros con energía solar

The amortization of investment in solar panels It is a fundamental aspect to consider when you decide to take the leap towards photovoltaic solar energy.

This process refers to the period of time necessary to recover the initial investment made in the installation of solar panels.

The profitability of solar panels is closely linked to payback.

The less time it takes to recover the investment, the faster you will start to enjoy the economic benefits and environmental of solar energy

Generally, with solar self-consumption systems, You can reduce your electricity bill by up to 60% conventional.

This means that, on average, you could recover the investment in a few 6 Years.

Nonetheless, there is the possibility of significantly reducing this term only 3 years.

As long as we effectively take advantage of the various aid and subsidies that are at your disposal.

Below, we present the key factors that influence the calculation of the amortization of your investment in solar panels:

1. Gross installation cost:

The size of your solar energy installation and the excellence of the equipment implemented will have a direct impact on the overall cost of the investment.

To explain in more detail, if you opt for a greater surface area for the installation of solar panels, this implies the inclusion of a greater number of solar panels.

As a result, this leads to a significant reduction in the time required to recover the initial investment.

2. Installation performance:

Where your home is located plays a crucial role in the performance of your solar panels.

The more hours of sunlight they receive, the greater the energy production, which will increase your savings.

The orientation of the roof and other factors such as the contracted power also influence.

Without a doubt, Lanzarote is an optimal setting to install solar panels due to its high annual solar exposure.

3. Tax aid and incentivess:

There are various ways to reduce the cost of your investment, such as subsidies that are applied directly to the price of the installation or tax deductions in personal income tax or IBI.

These can range from a 40% savings on the total installation cost to a 95% discount on the ICO.

A 50% discount on IBI and between 20% and 60% deduction on your personal income tax

4. Compensation for surpluses:

The capacity of sell the excess energy that you produce and do not consume to your electricity company can translate into significant discounts on your monthly bill.

The ability to sell the excess energy you generate and do not use to your electric utility company can result in considerable discounts on your monthly bill.

Having the ability to market the excess energy you produce and do not consume with your electricity supplier can lead to extremely important discounts on your monthly bill.

In the world of solar energy, a frequent question arises: is it worth installing batteries next to solar panels?

La respuesta es un «depende», y aquí te brindamos información clave para tomar la mejor decisión.

If you are considering the installation of batteries to complement your solar panels, it is important to consider several factors.

Batteries become relevant in special situations, such as in isolated places where connecting to the electrical network is complicated. In these circumstances, batteries are essential to store the energy generated and guarantee a constant supply. 🔋⚡

AMORTIZATION

Battery payback can be a lengthy process, sometimes exceeding the life of the panels themselves.

Battery payback can be a lengthy process, sometimes exceeding the life of the panels themselves.

SPACE TO USE

In this case, you can take advantage of solar energy and, if possible, send the excess to the electrical network, reducing future bills. 📈💰

Sun of Lanzarote

On Lanzarote, an island with abundant sunshine, solar power is an attractive option.

Evaluate your energy needs, space availability and economic feasibility before deciding. ☀️🏝️

En resumen…

Inspections in residential buildings over 100 kW and 10 years old

Since the law was established In 2016, with the aim of keeping the electrical installations in common areas in order, the Ministry of Industry has regulated inspections in residential buildings.

We are going to go into more detail about this recently applied rule in the Canary Islands.

These will be subject to a periodic inspection to be carried out each 10 years, there are many doubts that affect us if we live in a community of owners.

Only in the case that the total installed power (homes and common areas) is greater than 100 Kw.

It can be a vertical residential building or a residential of chalets or townhouses.

If the combined power of the dwellings (about 5750 watts each) and common services, such as public lighting, elevator etc, add up to that amount, this rule will be applied sooner or later.

The communities of owners must be the first to want to have their common service facilities updated and with the maximum security.

Something that we have to take into account is that although the power calculation is carried out by counting the installation of the interior of the houses, the inspections are only of the common zones.

To implement this inspection procedure in residential buildings, there are some initial conditions.

How the inspection is carried out

The authorized control bodies (O.C.A.) will notify the property of the visit for the inspection.

Once the technician has thoroughly reviewed the common areas regarding electrical installations, a report will be issued.

If the report contains serious or very serious defects, this document will allow time (which varies depending on the severity of the anomalies), for the property to correct these defects.

Once the process is finished, the installer of the company that performs the repair service will issue a specific certificate for this type of revision.

If you have already received the notification from the industry council, contact us and we will visit you.

The installation adaptation certificates or CAI's will expire.

SEPTEMBER 2022 UPDATE

NEW EXTENSION ESTABLISHED TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE ISSUING CAI`S

Dear friends, there has been some good news in the form of an extended deadline for this provision:

In principle it was scheduled to be until September 2022, according to the provisions of Decree Law 15/2020, of September 10, of the Presidency of the Government, on urgent measures to promote the primary, energy, tourism and territorial sectors of the Canary Islands.

Nevertheless, with the publication of "LAW 5/2021, of December 21, on urgent measures to promote the primary, energy, tourism and territorial sectors of the Canary Islands.", approved in the BOC No. 265. Monday, December 27, 2021, In its fourth additional provision, it indicates that the administrative regularization process has a term of validity of “2 years” from the entry into force of said law.

Therefore, the procedure must remain in force until December 2023.

This type of adaptation certificates will not be allowed as of December 2023, since in 2002 The low voltage electro-technical regulation came into force, and enabled this type of adaptation certificates for:

• Make reforms
• Small power increases.
• Rehabilitation of supply.
• Chang the name 
• Reviews for sales.

Therefore, it was a very useful tool for those homes that had been made prior to 2002, and that they wanted to make regularizations of any kind.

On many occasions, with this simple adaptation document or bulletin, users did not have to completely modify the installation to adapt it to the regulation that came into force as of 2002.

This meant that the industry council accepted that an old installation that met the parameters of the DECREE 161/2006, of November 8 and that was normally a simple review of four or five parameters, they could regularize their status. 

Infinity of houses that had been interrupted the supply that had a contract to cancel, could be rehabilitated if I complied with the installation with the minimum security required in the 1972 regulation, and under which their house had been made.

This regulation already adapted, which is now 20 years old, will be terminated in September 2022 according to a provision  DECREE law 15/2020, of September 10. Now we are going to see what this change means in practice.

There you have a Little summary for those who do not want to read the complete decree: (the date of September 11, 2022 has been extended to December 2023)

C.I's (Installation Certificates) can only be made from December 20233

Once this time period has expired, If we want to make any changes to the installation, if the electricity is cut off, if the contract is canceled, if we want to sell the house and the notary does not require a review bulletin or the original bulletin, we will have to make an installation certificate.

The installation certificate implies that our installation must meet the requirements of the new regulation which came into force in 2002. This would not be an inconvenience for any house built from this period onwards, but it will be for old or local houses.

The installation certificate is subject to a regulation that obliges old installations to carry out profound electrical reforms and in most cases masonry works

To give just one example, the connection would have to be changed, the electrical panel completely modified, new lines and new sockets added. 

On many occasions, the facilities being old, the pipes do not accept the introduction of new lines, so it is usually common to have to break the walls or the floor to install new ducts to accommodate the new installation.

If you have an old installation, and you want to save all this money and inconvenience, it is better that you do a CAI preventively, before its validity expires
