Byom offers among its services to companies and industrial groups that have areas in which to install renewable energy plants, the support aimed at structuring initiatives with the aim of reducing the energy costs of their business.
- Environmental and administrative screening for the identification of suitable areas and the applicable authorization procedure
- Technical screening for determining site producibility and potential grid connection solution
-
Technical and economic analysis of the project
-
Identification of tools for the valorization of the energy that will be produced by the plant including all the CACER models (including feed in tariffs) defined by TIAD
-
Preparation and presentation of Business Cases
Furthermore, if the Customer intends to proceed with the initiative, Byom is able to provide support in the development and authorization phases, project management, construction and operational management of the plant.
Energy Communities and more: What are They?
The Renewable Energy Communities (CER), as well as the “Gruppi di Autoconsumatori Collettivi” (GAC) and the “Autoconsumatori Individuali a Distanza” (AID), in general the CACER (D.Lgs. 199/21, DM414 of the MASE, TIAD and the Operating Rules of the GSE) have the objective of extending the advantages deriving from the FER plants also to those who, for reasons of distance, authorization, organization, economics, etc., cannot have access to them.
The main game rules are:
- minimum one FER plant (with a maximum size of 1 MW but replicable within the same CACER)
- minimum two members, without constraints on their homogeneity (companies can coexist with large-scale retail trade, commercial establishments, offices, public administrations, private citizens, etc.)
- constraint of “proximity”: all participants in the CACER (including the plants) must be connected to the same electrical distribution substation (HT/MT)*
Energy sharing between prosumers (producers and consumers), simple consumers and plants is measured through the new dimension of self-consumption, the value of which determines the incentive (feed in tariffs) provided by GSE through the CACER configuration.
The virtuous mechanism of self-consumption therefore requires careful study to balance production and consumption within the configuration itself in order to return environmental, social and economic advantages to investors and participants.
* in Italy there are around 2,100 primary substations compared to over 8,000 municipalities
Energy Communities and more: What are the Advantages?
The Role of Byom and FusionCER for Energy Autonomy
FusionCER is a joint venture between Byom and the Amaranto Holding Group.
In 2022, FusionCER, in just 5 months, structured, including access to the incentive, the Renewable Energy Community in the Municipality of Vitulano, achieving recognition from the GSE as the first incentivized CER in Italy.
Over 100 Feasibility Studies have been carried out. The projects in structuring are approximately 30 for 12MWp equivalent. The CER constituted at 1H24 are 9. In particular, the Feasibility Study allows us to determine the best possible configuration and draw up a business plan necessary for the subsequent structuring of the initiative.
FusionCER has a “toolbox” which includes technical, economic, financial and legal analysis tools for rapid and effective implementation of projects.
Byom, through FusionCER aims to achieve important goals in the promising panorama of energy autonomy, in particular for Renewable Energy Communities (CER).
We oversee the entire value chain of the initiatives, from the feasibility study phase to structuring, from construction to management of the plants and CACERs, to ensure their correct functioning.

Roadmap
Definition of the drivers based on which to identify the initiatives being analysed
Preliminary screening of sites (grounds and paving stones) and identification of usable areas
The preliminary screening concerns, in relation to the type of intervention, the analysis of the environmental/territorial constraints of the sites for the purpose of constructing the PV plant. In this context, the potentially usable area will be identified with respect to the available surface taking into account the azimuthal exposure, homogeneity of the terrain, shading, urban and environmental restrictions and the buffer zones imposed by the Bodies, Authorities and Energy Distributors (DSO).
Authorization titles
Screening of the necessary authorizations for the construction of plants and network works based on the type and regional location of the interventions.
Yield Analysis
The Yield Analysis must examine the effects of environmental and operational factors on the energy performance of the most suitable photovoltaic (PV) system for the sites, such as levels of solar radiation, temperature, spectrum, dirt, tracking (if any), and others.
Connection to the DSO power grid
In this phase, we will proceed to a preliminary assessment of the type and costs of the connection of the single site.
Only after the connection request has been submitted and, subsequently, after obtaining the connection estimate, will it be possible to proceed with the analysis of the type of connection works to be implemented, the timing and the punctual estimate of costs.
ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT
Evaluation of the alternatives currently available for the valorization of the energy produced on the basis of the power of the PV system, of the consumptions associable for any CACER configurations, including Renewable Energy Communities, also considering methods already present but always valid such as PPA on site, Self-production, etc.
Tools for valorising the energy produced
Evaluation of the alternatives currently available for the valorisation of the energy produced on the base of the power of the PV system, consumption associated for any configurations of self-consumption (TIAD) such as self-production or Renewable Energy Communities (RECs).
