Ecological transformation provides financial support to 200 groundbreaking initiatives, involving agrivoltaic energy storage systems.

The RENOINN program, a significant initiative aimed at promoting renewable energy and collective self-consumption, has announced the allocation of 18.2 million euros in subsidies to 67 best-rated applications. These projects, totalling around 7,600 users, will serve more than a third of vulnerable users, approximately 2,700.

The program has selected 27 innovative proposals for renewable energy integration in infrastructures and anthropized spaces, receiving a combined 23.4 million euros in aid. This mobilizes a total investment of 55.9 million euros, with the majority of these projects focusing on photovoltaic technology, with three hydroelectric projects included.

An additional 11 floating photovoltaic projects with storage, primarily for agricultural use, have been allocated 10.1 million euros. The last line of the RENOINN program assigns 19.6 million euros to 32 applications for innovative renewable heat pump installations.

All actions subject to subsidy in the RENOINN program must respect the principle of "not causing significant damage" to the environment, linking the NextGenEU funds channeled by the PRTR. Agrivoltaic energy, a promising solution for promoting more sustainable agricultural development, contributes to the energy transition and optimizes land use.

It's estimated that around 4,000 vulnerable consumers could benefit from the different collective self-consumption formulas proposed. The organization that funded the largest agrivoltaic project selected within the RENOINN program is the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The collective self-consumption project presented by a Madrid locality receives the largest subsidy of the call, 8.4 million euros, and will deploy 33.25 MW of power and 17 MWh of storage.

A high percentage of these initiatives with a social component are backed by public entities such as municipalities or provinces, and at least 20 by energy communities and similar associative entities. The power of the installations benefiting from aid is 45.6 MW and the capacity of the associated storage is 133.2 MWh.

In conclusion, the RENOINN program is a significant step forward in promoting renewable energy, collective self-consumption, and supporting vulnerable users. The diverse range of projects selected, from photovoltaic and hydroelectric to agrivoltaic and heat pump installations, demonstrates a comprehensive approach to energy transition and sustainable development.
