Madrid – Spain

The Spanish pilot is located in the city of Madrid. In particular, the apartments involved will be members of the energy cooperative La Corriente, partner of frESCO.
The buildings are located in the centre of the city and were built in the 60s. Of the 26 million homes in Spain, 15 were built before 1980 with very poor insulation. This directly affects the precariousness of energy and increased pollution.
The climate in the city is Mediterranean-Continental, with very hot summers and cold winters.
Pilot targets
– Combination of collectively owned generation with other energy service
– Explore collective decision processes
– Replicate frESCO energy services to other members of La Corriente with different features
