GridShare

Italy is a world leader in green energy with the highest penetration of residential solar in the world. But many are excluded from being a part of the success story: those who rent (homes or business premises) and those without access to a roof can’t install home solar. That adds up to a lot of people. Also outside Italy, a large and untapped market across the EU, there is a lack of solutions enabling people living in apartments and renting to access clean, affordable energy.

GridShare is a fractional renewable energy solution, enabling people and businesses to own fractions of solar farms.Anyone, regardless of where they live, can become an energy producer and earn from the sale of the electricity generated by the solar park, without having to worry about the installation, management, maintenance, or insurance of the photovoltaic system.

There is a strategic alignment between Fastweb and Energy solution. In addition, the future of the grid is decentralized and Gridshare is a step in the right direction:

• Leans into renewable energy communities
• In-line with more local energy production
• Potential for P2P relationships in the future
