Why Coastal Local Energy Communities Matter Now
Unique Energy Challenges
Coastal regions confront distinctive energy pressures: grid constraints, escalating climate risks, and exceptional renewable potential from solar, wind, and tidal resources waiting to be harnessed.
Collective Clean Energy
Local Energy Communities (LECs) empower residents and businesses to generate, share, and manage clean energy collectively, transforming how neighbourhoods interact with power systems.
Government Priority
Governments worldwide, now prioritise energy communities as essential vehicles to accelerate decarbonisation targets and strengthen energy resilience across vulnerable coastal areas.
Introducing Geo-SaaS: The Future of Decentralised Energy Origination
Cloud-Based Platform
A sophisticated geographic software solution tailored specifically for coastal LECs to map, launch, and manage renewable energy projects with precision and ease.
Integrated Intelligence
Seamlessly integrates spatial data, real-time energy flows, and community engagement tools within one intuitive interface that anyone can navigate.

Optimised Coordination
Enables seamless coordination between generators, consumers, and grid operators for optimised local energy use, reducing waste and maximising renewable utilisation.
How Geo-SaaS Supports Every Stage of Community Energy Projects
From initial site selection through active operation, Geo-SaaS provides comprehensive support tailored to coastal community needs.

The 'Costa del Sol Occidental' comprises 9 municipalities in Malaga, Spain. Its 96,000 hectares and 120 km of coastline, combined with a mountainous backdrop, create an exceptional climate perfect for a distributed energy system of renewable and proximity generation
The epicentre is the municipality of Marbella

PROJECT AIMS
ACHIEVE OVER 25% SELF-CONSUMPTION VIA LOCAL ENERGY COMMUNITIES


MALAGA PROVINCE'S CURRENT DEPENDENCE ON OIL SOURCES IS 62% AND 12% FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES. THIS IS A VERY BAD RATIO
THE SUPPLY OF THE COSTA DE SOL HAS ITS SOURCES VERY FAR AWAY, AS IT LACKS ITS OWN GENERATION, EXCEPT FOR THE CASARES WIND FARM AND A SMALL HYDROELECTRIC PLANT IN RIO VERDE. ALTHOUGH A LARGE WIND FARM IS AWAITED OFF THE COAST, ITS COMMISSIONING HAS NOT YET BEEN SCHEDULED
THE WATER SUPPLY AND PURIFICATION SYSTEM CONSUMES 70.000.000 KW/H YEAR

Unlocking Benefits for Coastal Communities
Lower Energy Costs
