The conference on "Renewable Energy Communities: Opportunities for Citizens and Territories" was held on May 24, 2024, at 5:30 PM in the Council Chamber of Ostuni.
The event, promoted by DiTNE, took place in collaboration with Confindustria Brindisi and the Order of Engineers of the province of Brindisi, and with the participation of ENGIE.
The event focused on the role of CERs (Renewable Energy Communities): an extraordinary tool for empowering and empowering consumers, who simultaneously become energy producers, with the aim of providing environmental, economic, and social benefits to CER members and the local communities in which they operate.
The full involvement of local communities (from local administrations to civil society, from technicians to businesses) is therefore crucial to raising awareness of the opportunities this tool offers to contribute to the spread of a culture of sustainability.
The conference opened with greetings from the Mayor of Ostuni, Angelo Pomes, and the President of DiTNE, Arturo De Risi.
This was followed by speeches by:
- Livio De Santoli (Professor of Energy Management at Sapienza University),
- Angelo Colucci (Project manager DiTNE),
- Giuseppe Tanzarella (Deputy Mayor and Councillor for the Environment of Ostuni),
- Teresa Lococciolo (President of the Civil Society Forum of Ostuni),
- Gabriele Menotti Lippolis (President of Confindustria Brindisi),
- Silvano Bocci (Technical & Proposal Director Energy Solution ENGIE),
- Cosimo Pescatore (President of the Order of Engineers of the province of Brindisi).
