Barcelona City Council is allocating 10 municipal roofs with photovoltaic installations for shared self-consumption as part of its drive to promote energy communities across the Spanish city.
The pioneering initiative contributes to the city’s energy transition and fulfils one of the goals of the Climate Plan: to promote energy communities and shared self-consumption by improving the guidance, grants and support for the installation of photovoltaic panels.
The roofs chosen are located in all districts to pave the way for social-community participation throughout the entire city.
They were chosen following technical work spearheaded by the Barcelona Energy Agency to guarantee their feasibility and include the following locations:
The allocations will enable photovoltaic installations for shared self-consumption among the members of an energy community to be built, used and maintained. In addition to providing these spaces, the city council will also supply all the technical information and offer support and guidance for the development, legalisation and implementation of the installations.
The goal is to foster the creation and consolidation of these initiatives in all the city’s districts and to increase local renewable energy production. The overarching goal is to lower the use of technologies that emit CO2, the most efficient and profitable way to achieve carbon neutrality.

With the goal of encouraging energy self-consumption and ensuring that all city residents can participate, a new shared self-consumption service was recently launched in two municipal photovoltaic installations: the Alfons Comín pergola and the Ronda de Dalt pergola. In this case, the city council is in charge of installation and maintenance and shares the energy with users by charging a public rate.
Additionally, it offers them advice on the rational, efficient use of shared energy with information sessions and personalised guidance.
