The installation promoted by the IBE will generate 100 kW of power and receive 51 applications for membership.
The installation work on the shared self-consumption system promoted by the Balearic Energy Institute (IBE) at the CEIP Ses Salines has been completed this week and, once it is up and running, it will benefit 43 homes and 6 businesses, which will see their electricity bills reduced.

The project will generate 100 kW of renewable power, which will be sold at a cost price to the individuals, companies and local administrations of the municipality that were selected in the public adhesion process that took place between 1 April and 15 May. Thus, the associated consumers will have their share of the installation in a similar way to a domestic self-consumption installation, and the economic consideration will be 100 € per kilowatt and year, where households have been able to choose between quotas of 0.5 kW for 50 € or 1 kW at 100 €. In turn, companies have been able to choose between 3 and 5 kW, at a cost of €300 and €500 per year. The savings for every €100 invested will be €375 and the annual savings range from €178 to €1875, depending on the quota chosen.
It should be noted that a total of 51 applications were received in the call for this shared self-consumption, of which 43 were valid and eight were excluded (seven individuals and one company). Thus, the applications of 43 homes (one of them vulnerable) and six companies were accepted. The list of those admitted can be consulted at the following link: https://cutt.ly/HLULO7H.
This project was awarded to the company SIE Balear SLP, which obtained the highest score (99.88 points) over the other eight companies that submitted bids. The tender budget was 155,892.37 euros plus VAT, and the company won the tender with a bid of 123,155 euros plus VAT.
Twenty-seven projects for the year 2022 in Mallorca
It should be noted that in 2021 the IBE invested 750,000 euros in six medium-sized shared self-consumption photovoltaic solar energy projects, which will produce a total of 460 kW throughout the Balearic Islands. By 2022, IBE plans to launch a total of 41 projects, 27 of which are in Mallorca (12 in Palma and 15 in the Part Forana), which will benefit more than 1,700 homes and more than 165 companies.
In this sense, they have been installed or will be installed on the roofs of educational centres, car parks or plots of land, and the consumption of this 100% green electricity will be open to consumers located within a radius of 500 metres of these installations. It should be noted that Vice-President Yllanes, given the energy emergency in which we find ourselves, has made a request to the State to extend this radius up to 2 km and an unlimited extension within the same municipality in non-peninsular territories, as in the case of the Balearic Islands.
The IBE has signed collaboration agreements with each of the local councils through which it will cede the use of the spaces for the installation of the photovoltaic solar panels and guarantee the supply of a part of the consumption to municipal facilities.
This programme aims to expand in the coming years and reach as many municipalities as possible. In fact, the IBE will reinvest the economic return from these installations to promote new shared self-consumption projects throughout the Balearic Islands.
