About
CER.ca.MI is a co-op headquartered in Milano, Italy specializing in Solar.
CER.ca.MI Solidale is a renewable energy community promoted by the Municipality of Milan in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano and three social cooperatives (Abitare, Diapason, Terzo Paesaggio). The initiative aggregates diverse participants—citizens, small and medium enterprises, public entities, and third-sector organizations—operating as consumers, producers, or prosumers. Members produce and share electricity generated from distributed photovoltaic installations across Milan's buildings. The model operates within primary electrical substations and creates an incentive mechanism through the national grid operator (GSE). Revenues generated from energy sharing are allocated to community-selected social projects targeting vulnerable populations and local development, rather than direct member redistribution. Participants can engage by consuming shared electricity, providing renewable energy production, or offering suitable rooftop surfaces for installations. The initiative promotes energy autonomy, reduced emissions, solidarity-based energy distribution, and active citizenship participation in energy governance.
