GISA is participating in the WESHARE initiative, a European project with a duration of 36 months and a total budget of €1,842,060.64.

The project will address the identification of existing legal, social, and organisational barriers, the development of business and financing models, and the creation of specific training for companies, public entities, and promoters of industrial energy communities at the European level.
The project’s actions will be carried out through a consortium of public and private entities with extensive experience in the field of energy communities in Europe, such as the Regional Development Agency of Antwerp (Belgium), the Arrábida Energy and Environment Agency (Portugal), the engineering company Rimond (Italy), the Belgian consultancy LOW, the energy services company Genera (Italy), the Belgian sustainability and innovation centre Klimaatwerf, and the Portuguese business park operator AICEP Global Parques.
The WESHARE project aims to become an international benchmark, positioning GISA at the forefront of promoting industrial energy communities and placing Getafe in a privileged position to successfully address the challenges of the energy transition in the municipality.
