Comunità Energetica Rinnovabile Solidale Mirafiori

About

Founded in 2024, Comunità Energetica Rinnovabile Solidale Mirafiori is a co-op headquartered in Torino, Italy specializing in Solar.

Comunità Energetica Rinnovabile Solidale Mirafiori is a renewable energy cooperative established in March 2024 in the Mirafiori neighborhood of Turin, Italy. The organization aggregates citizens, small businesses, and local entities to collectively produce, share, and consume renewable energy from solar installations. With a solidarity-focused mission, CERS Mirafiori addresses energy poverty by including economically disadvantaged households and dedicating incentive funds to support vulnerable populations. The community operates under democratic governance principles through an association structure, enabling members to participate actively in energy management decisions. Connected through the electrical network at primary substations (Gialla and Bordeaux cabinets), CERS Mirafiori leverages the Mirafiori district's post-industrial infrastructure and available rooftop and land surfaces for photovoltaic installations. The initiative emerged from existing social networks including the Mirafiori Community Foundation, Orti Generali urban gardens, and CUS Torino sports center.
