Carbon-neutral electricity and heating for the Terra Fria municipalities  

This Investment Project aims to respond to the challenges identified by the municipalities of Terra Fria Transmontana: to be able to have widespread access to energy produced from renewable sources, namely electricity, as well as more efficient and carbon-neutral heating and cooling solutions for buildings.  At the same time, these municipalities want to be more autonomous and independent in terms of energy production, distribution and consumption, as well as energy management, in order to reduce dependence on third parties and increase their ability to set energy prices. To this end, it is intended to invest in the production of energy from renewable sources, namely solar and wind, as well as the installation of heat pumps for heating and cooling buildings, all in combination with a smart grid for their management supported by a renewable energy community. This approach will potentially benefit all energy consumers (public and private) in the Terra Fria Transmontana region, who will gain greater energy independence, easier access to inclusive and resilient technologies, greater thermal comfort and a better quality of life.
