Urban Energy Modelling
Urban energy modelling is a fundamental tool for supporting cities and territories in the energy transition, optimising the production, distribution, and consumption of energy at the urban scale.
By modelling entire districts or cities, we analyse the energy behaviour of buildings and urban infrastructure, assessing the potential for self-production, energy sharing, and intelligent energy management.
This approach makes it possible to identify effective strategies for emission reduction, efficiency improvement, and the integration of renewable energy sources.
Feasibility Studies for Renewable Energy Communities (RECs)
Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) are one of the most innovative and inclusive solutions for promoting the energy transition.
Citizens, businesses, companies, and public authorities can join forces to produce, share, and self-consume renewable electricity, generating environmental, economic, and social benefits.
This opportunity was introduced in Italy with the conversion into law of the “Milleproroghe” Decree 162/2019, implementing the European RED II Directive (2018/2001/EU), which promotes the creation of Renewable Energy Communities.
We support clients throughout all phases of these initiatives — from initial assessment to operational management — ensuring an integrated and tailored approach.
Thanks to extensive experience gained through numerous feasibility studies in various contexts, we offer highly specialised services for the design and activation of RECs and Collective Self-Consumption Groups.
Our approach combines regulatory, technical, and strategic expertise to maximise economic, environmental, and social benefits for all community members.
What we offer:
A comprehensive service that includes:
Technical–economic feasibility analysis, assessing the energy potential and economic benefits
Consumption profile analysis and system sizing to optimise local energy production and use
Support throughout the REC creation process, following regulatory requirements and best practices
Development of renewable energy systems in collaboration with specialised technical partners
Formal establishment of the REC and registration on the GSE platform to access incentives and regulatory frameworks
Administrative management of financial flows, ensuring correct allocation of incentives and benefits among members
Creation of business plans and technical–economic reports to support access to public and private funding, assessing investment sustainability and medium–long-term returns
Stakeholder communication and engagement support, fostering active participation through communication and facilitation strategies
Assistance in defining the legal and organisational model (cooperative, consortium, condominium model, etc.)
Post-activation monitoring with digital tools to track energy performance and ensure transparency
SECAP (Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan)
The Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP) is a strategic and operational framework that EU municipalities must develop and implement to contribute to sustainable energy and climate objectives.
The European Commission has set ambitious targets, including reducing CO₂ and greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030.
If you are a Public Administration, we can support you in the development and implementation of your SECAP.
What we offer:
Assistance in assessing the feasibility of implementing the new plan
Structured, ongoing support for planning and implementing the required measures
Identification of funding opportunities, facilitating access to financial resources for interventions
Preparation of periodic monitoring reports — both qualitative and quantitative — to verify the effectiveness of actions and ensure alignment with sustainability objectives
Decarbonisation Scenarios & the PED Methodology
The Positive Energy District (PED) methodology enables the systematic evaluation and comparison of the energy impact of different design solutions.
Using baseline reference models, various intervention options are simulated and analysed to identify the most effective solutions from both an energy and economic perspective, guiding the final design.
This methodology allows for an in-depth cost–benefit analysis, identifying strategies to minimise energy consumption, maximise energy recovery, and integrate renewable sources.
The goal is to develop urban districts capable of producing more energy than they consume — transforming them into Positive Energy Districts.
What we offer:
Advanced, tailored analyses to design highly efficient energy districts, identifying the best solutions for decarbonisation and supporting the transition towards a sustainable urban model.
