The concept

What an Energy Community is

An Energy Community — in Collective Self-Consumption (ACC) or as a Renewable Energy Community (CER) — lets multiple consumers share the energy produced by one or more solar installations: neighbours, condominium residents, businesses in a park, or buildings in a municipality.

The framework is defined by Portuguese legislation and the ERSE 815/2023 regulation (RAC). It makes solar energy accessible to those who, alone, would not have the roof, scale, or conditions to install.

The EGAC role

A community needs a managing entity

The EGAC (Collective Self-Consumption Managing Entity) handles registration, energy-sharing coefficients, the relationship with E-REDES, internal billing, and reporting.

It's continuous technical and administrative work. Outsourcing it to a specialised partner frees your organisation — and ensures the community meets its obligations rigorously.

How it works

The process, in four steps

Legal framework

Feasibility assessment and community model definition.

DGEG registration

Formal constitution and registration with the competent authorities.

Ongoing operations

Management of coefficients, members, and internal billing.

Reporting

Periodic reports and regulatory compliance.

Investment

€150 – €300 per CPE / month

The EGAC management service is priced indicatively according to the size and complexity of the community. We provide an exact proposal after the exploration call.
