Vast area energy communities for sustainable tourism

Energy communities represent the future and allow easier awareness among citizens and tourists. The possibility of joining both as a prosumer and as a consumer allows the use of green energy even for structures that don’t have the possibility of installing renewable sources due to the presence of constraints or due to the unavailability of the roof. Structures that cannot install photovoltaic on their roofs and join the energy community as consumers, enjoying the shared energy incentive and indirectly exploiting the energy produced by photovoltaic panels installed in other places, helping to make the territory independent from an energy point of view. The accommodation facilities that join energy community receive a "carbon free sticker". In this way the structures will be incentivized to reduce their CO2 emissions and their decarbonisation path will be rewarded for the benefit of sustainable tourism. These actions not only contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of the tourism sector, but reduce management costs and implement sustainable tourism. More municipalities in the vast Campobasso area are creating an energy community including public administrations, private citizens and businesses. The primary electric substation of the network distributor supplies multiple little municipalities simultaneously. All this, combined with the freedom to enter the community at any time, allows for the largescale expansion of the project in the time.
