Now is your turn

OK, let's imagine that you have followed this blog on its short life and you are craving to set off your own Distributed Generation source, business or whatever. This are the steps to follow if you live in the Community of Madrid (and Leganés?) and you need some financing, or visit them here:

First of all you have to be sure that you know enough about the source you want to start with or instead you will need some help (that is not free). If you are more positioned in the second option you will need to contact the Energetic Service Company, or ESCO in Spanish.

If you are thinking of doing it all by yourself, think twice and call IDAE (Instituto para la diversificación y ahorro de la energía) which is an institute for advising and consulting. Also, and most important, they are the ones to give you the money.

There are two ways of financing: The "modest" way for those demanding between 2M and 42M€, where a group of enterprises unite together temporarily. If you have a masterplan and you need more than 42M€ then an agroupation of economic interest will be bound to help you.

Also, depending on the effect it has over the region, the regional government will provide you with part of the money, as it happened years ago with the solar panels in Navarra. Sadly, in this very case the owners are going to stop receiving helps.

But this is another story.
