Workshop “Creation of a Rural Renewable Energy Community” in Calatayud
Last week, the workshop “Creation of a Rural Renewable Energy Community” was held in Calatayud.
Mayors from various towns in Ávila attended the event to learn first-hand how the JALON project—specifically through CERCA Energía—has developed into a consolidated community, the challenges it faced, and the insights gained from its development process.
Holtrop, the law firm and project partner, presented the administrative and legal framework, while José Ángel Zabalegui, coordinator of CERCA Energía, shared his experience, highlighting communication with the towns, residents, mayors, and others involved.
The JALON project aims to implement replicable models of community energy across Europe, promoting energy autonomy, carbon footprint reduction, and community engagement in sustainable initiatives. This event thus marks an important milestone in expanding renewable energy infrastructure within the Calatayud region, reinforcing the commitment to a greener, sustainable future.
