About this good practice
Why?
The development of Smart grids is one of the pillars in the Andalusian Energy Strategy 2020, necessary for the modernization and implementation of innovative projects in the region. For this reason, an incentive line for smart grid projects has been included within the Andalusian Sustainable Energy Development Programme A+
How is it implemented?
The scheme tries to get better e-connected cities and persons. Aimed at citizens, self-employed, companies, public entities and other entities.
It includes a catalogue of 17 actions related to smart grids, quality of supply, sustainable mobility or public awareness.
For each action, the object, scope and specific conditions are defined as well as the correspondent % of non-refundable incentive.
- Managed by the Andalusian Energy Agency. Key role of the suppliers of the actions (collaborating entities)
- Easy access to the scheme. Computerised processing. Documents only needed for justification.
- Many options for energy improvement. Permanent call.
- Offer of basic and advanced solutions.
- Variety of beneficiaries and activity sectors.
Who are the main stakeholders and beneficiaries of the practice?
Great variety of beneficiaries: citizens, neighbourhood associations, self-employed, companies, municipalities and local entities.
Experts from different disciplines have participated in the design: administration, companies, economic and social agents, technological institutions, universities and consumers

Resources needed
For the incentives scheme, 27 million euros from ESIF TO4 and Regional Funds. Several tools for the management of incentives were developed, allowing the whole process to be computerised. Various software tools were also designed to facilitate the location of collaborating partner companies

Potential for learning or transfer
The programme could be implemented in other European regions. The most positive elements to be transferred are:
• Catalogue of energy improvement measures, allowing beneficiaries to know the actions and how much money they will received.
• The management of the incentive schedule, based in collaborating companies, has allowed to reinforce Andalusian business sector.
• Many public fleets of vehicles have changed to more efficient ones, having exemplary effect in the rest of the society. The environmental and economy benefits for cities are very important
• The electricity recharge network and other alternative fuels have improved in the region.
