Our flagship project at Units Energy Sccl involves installing solar panels on the roofs of committed churches and schools to provide energy to citizens, SMEs, and vulnerable groups. To achieve this, we are establishing a non-profit cooperative comprised of university professors, engineers, architects, sustainability experts, citizens, and vulnerable communities. Our mission is to promote a local, clean, sustainable, and solidarity-based energy model with funding requested from IDAE.
What does our project entail? With an optimal budget of €22,000, we will undertake the following key actions:
Initial expenses of €5,000 will cover administrative, notary, licensing, and other necessary procedures to start the project on solid ground.
We will request engineering projects costing €14,000 to fund engineering designs, licenses, etc., for installing solar panels on the roofs of already committed churches and schools. This direct action will generate local renewable energy benefiting families, small community businesses, and the vulnerable group to whom we will deliver 10% of the net energy produced, reducing their monthly bill.
We will invest €5,000 in software and specialised professionals to launch a training platform. We will post on the YouTube channel tips on energy efficiency, how to reduce our bills, and how to progress with shared self-consumption using, for example, the roofs of churches or schools, to assist citizens, SMEs, and vulnerable groups. How can I obtain the social electricity and heating bonus? Tips, especially for the elderly and those at risk of social exclusion. Any extra funds raised will be allocated to installing solar panels because we must take care of the planet since we only have one and there is no Plan B.
We will raise awareness and strengthen the local social and solidarity economy.
Why is your support important? Each contribution brings us closer to a clean, efficient, fair, and sustainable energy model. By contributing, you will be helping to reduce the current energy monopoly, the carbon footprint, and to provide accessible energy to citizens and families who need it most. Additionally, you help replicate this model in other municipalities and parishes, promoting social justice. It's worth it for you as you get a tax deduction of up to 80%.
Here's the translation into British English:
Our initiative stems from a clear urgency: climate change and its effects are already here. Extreme phenomena like DANA, drought, and rising temperatures compel us to act. In response to this reality, we aim to build an inclusive and fair energy model that reduces dependence on fossil fuels, provides clean energy at affordable prices, and empowers vulnerable people. We don't have a Planet B and we need to act today to preserve our only Earth.
Who is this project aimed at?
Committed citizens: Foundations, groups, and individuals who wish to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a sustainable and environmentally respectful energy model.
Small and medium-sized enterprises SMEs, shops, Associations, Cooperatives, and Energy Communities, Local businesses interested in reducing energy costs, while promoting responsible and sustainable practices in their activities. We offer advice on implementing good sustainability practices.
