ADENE – Agência para a Energia, together with ERSE and E-REDES, has launched the first of a series of three guides on self-consumption in Portugal, available on the Poupa Energia portal. This first guide focuses on self-consumption in condominiums with electric mobility, combining solar production with electric-vehicle charging.

What the guide covers

The document explains the difference between individual and collective self-consumption and renewable energy communities (CER), the rights and duties of self-consumers, the process of registering a Self-Consumption Production Unit (UPAC) with DGEG and E-REDES, and the proximity rules between production and consumption installations. The next two guides in the series will cover further topics related to self-consumption and electric mobility.

  • Lower electricity bills and greater energy independence
  • Higher property value and a contribution to sustainability
  • Practical guidance on costs, regulation and reaching consensus among condominium owners
