Energy Communities - Cleanwatts

Renewable Energy Communities

Abundant and affordable energy for everybody.

How do they work?

We believe in the power of the community to meet today’s rapidly evolving energy needs. So how does a REC work?

We build smart ecosystems that intelligently deliver access to affordable clean energy to accelerate the global energy transition for local communities around the world.

REC Benefits

What can Energy Communities deliver.

Zero upfront investment

Save 20-30% on energy costs

Create resiliency

Share energy for additional revenue

What are Self-balancing energy communities?

These are communities that integrate ancillary services and demand response to support the grid. Distributed community energy assets can be intelligently managed to maximize efficiency and provide additional revenue to the community

What are the main benefits of self-balancing communities?

– Highest cost savings
– Greener, more sustainable energy use
– Maximized self-consumption
– Enhanced self-sufficiency

What is energy community crowd sourcing?

Crowdsourcing within energy communities is an approach that leads to cost savings through collective investment, enhanced community involvement, and shared commitment to environmental goals. It facilitates a faster transition to clean energy by distributing the advantages of renewables, thus fostering a more sustainable community energy model.

Our Impact

In August 2021, Cleanwatts inaugurated Portugal’s first renewable energy community in a small town called Miranda do Douro.

Today we have established more than 100 energy communities across Europe with an aggregated solar PV capacity of over 50MW. We are now expanding across the world.
