DO YOU KNOW THAT…?

                                              renewable energies

The term of energy transition not only
means avoiding the use of energy
resources from fossil sources in favor of   CONSUMER PARTICIPATION
renewables but also improving the
efficiency of energy production and
defining a more conscious energy
consumption by people.

SCORE PROJECT

       The aim of “SCORE” is to facilitate co-ownership of renewable energy for consumers first in three
                   pilot regions and later also in various other follower cities across Europe.

DETAILED OBJECTIVES
   To overcome the usage of energy from fossil fuels by promoting and facilitating the production of energy
   from renewable sources and to increase energy efficiency (EE) of the building systems (e.g. envelope or
   energy system).

   To reduce energy consumption through behavioural change of the users of the building/ neighborhood.

   To promote the creation of energy communities, lending, above all, attention to the dynamics that allow/not
   allow the birth of these communities.

   To shift the attention from the individual to the community, getting closer to population segments that are
   or interested or would like to be part of it but do not have the possibility (for different reasons: economic,
   social, etc.)
   To understand how different case studies can be financed by the local citizen (or simply people interested
   in). An important role will be played by a trusteeship that will be created in order to collect the funds of
   individual entity.

   To study the feasibility of creating energy communities in order to discover potential and limits that arise
   when this type of project is implemented.

CSOP «CONSUMER STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN»

              A CSOP (Consumer Stock Ownership Plan) enables consumers – especially those
              without savings or access to capital credit – to acquire an ownership stake in a utility
              they use and thus to become “prosumers”:
              It is a consumer-centred investment model for general services providing
              participation both financially and in regards to management decisions.
              Avoiding personal liability of the consumer-shareholders, a CSOP permits co-
              investments of municipalities, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and other
              local stakeholders.
              An intermediary entity (CSOP-Ltd.) invests into a new or existing RE plant and
              operates it on behalf of different actors as co-owners.
              With the help of a CSOP, investments can be made into any kind of utility, for
              example water, energy, transportation and the like. When investing in renewable
              energy installations, CSOPs contribute to the energy transition and climate change
              mitigation by facilitating local, decentralised production.

CSOP «CONSUMER STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN»

                                Il CSOP è un modello innovativo
                                di investimento nelle energie
                                rinnovabili.
                                Facilita i co-investimenti tra
                                municipalità, piccole e medie
                                imprese (PMI) e altri partner
                                locali.
                                La Societa Operativa (CSOP)
                                investe in un impianto nuovo o
                                esistente di ER e lo gestisce per
                                conto dei (co-)proprietari.
