DE-RESS small project, the outcomes of the last activities
Overview

A report on the last activities: a workshop and an incoming event of the small scale project DE-RESS "Dissemination of the European measures for Renewable Energy Shared and Sustainable: analysis of a practical case", funded by the INTERREG IPA CBC Italy-Albania Montenegro 2014-2020 Programme.

This the question from which the DE-RESS project is born: "is it possible to change our society and our quality of life through new forms of renewable energy? And what are the impacts?". Several experts have interfaced over the course of the activities implemented. From experts of the energy communities to Albanian and Italian experts in the technological, regulatory, industrial and social fields. In addition, good practices have been presented and enhanced in the Programme area, such as Melpignano, Biccari and the Arca experience. 

A key aspect addressed in the two workshops was the situation at European and national level of legislation and measures taken in the field of renewable energy. For this reason representatives of public bodies, agencies and associations in the sector were invited in order to discuss the situation with the stakeholders and communities.

The main goal of the incoming activity was to show the potential of new technologies and the energy communities and their impacts, in terms of savings and quality of life, by presenting direct evidence. In fact, the 10 economic operators that participated in the event have been able to observe at the Cooperative of Community of Melpignano, how the system of continuous monitoring and maintenance allows the photovoltaic system from the Cooperative, installed 10 years ago, to still have a good production. In addition, there has been an opportunity for operators to see the enormous repercussions in terms of economics and community welfare. Finally, project partners and stakeholders also discussed possible developments of the DE-RESS project.

In the next period some interviews performed will be shared, in order to continue the debate on the official social channel.
