Remote self-consumption
Produce renewable energy and share it among locations. Less costs more benefits.
OUR VALUE
Shared energy
between corporate sites
Remote self-consumption allows companies to produce energy from a renewable source at one site (e.g., photovoltaic system) and consume it at other company sites, as long as they fall under the same primary substation, which is an electrical station that distributes power over a defined area, transforming it from high to medium voltage.
This energy model is a key lever for:
- Reduce long-term energy costs
- Stabilizing energy prices
- Enhance unused surfaces (e.g., warehouse roofs, including third parties)
- Generate economic benefits for the business and the local community

Energy Sharing
In the Energy Sharing model, energy produced by a PV system up to 1 MWp and fed into the grid is valued at the hourly zonal price (PZO) if the production and consumption sites are under the same primary substation.
If a second business site draws energy at the same time, the GSE recognizes a 20-year incentive on the shared energy, for a benefit of up to €121/MWh.
At least 55 percent of shared energy must go to third parties (e.g., social entities or nonprofits), generating environmental and social benefits for the area.
White Energy 's Energy Sharing service helps companies optimize production and self-consumption through advanced configurations.
With Energy Sharing:
- Energy is produced through photovoltaic systems, including those installed on third-party roofs
- The energy produced is shared and consumed instantly by other company sites, connected to the same primary substation
- The system enables efficient use of the public grid, promoting widespread power generation while maintaining ownership and control of the power generated
SECTORS
Who Energy Sharing is for
Chemist
Medium- and large-scale chemical and petrochemical companies can leverage remote self-consumption to power energy-intensive processes with renewable energy, reducing costs and environmental impact.
Textile
Textile industries dedicated to the production of textiles and apparel, with energy-intensive factories and continuous production cycles, can benefit from remote self-consumption, improving overall energy efficiency.
Manufacturing
Processing industries with multiple operating locations can share the energy produced by photovoltaic systems, optimizing the use of renewable energy and reducing dependence on the grid.
Food
Large agribusinesses (such as dairy, confectionery, or meat industries) can leverage remote self-consumption to power production and storage processes, improving sustainability and reducing energy costs.
CASE STUDY.
Energy Sharing
The project
An energy-intensive company based in Lazio has installed two photovoltaic systems of 1 MWp each on third-party land, optimizing exposure and tilt to maximize production (1,340 kWh/kWp).
Configuration
The energy produced by the two PV systems is shared with the industrial site, located within the same primary cabin, through a remote self-consumption system.
Benefits obtained
- Zeroing the expense of electricity purchased from the grid
- 20-year incentive on shared energy
- Reducing emissions and improving ESG rating
The project
A major manufacturing company, with three operating sites in Lazio connected to the same primary substation, decided to invest in a system of self-generation and energy sharing through photovoltaic systems installed on the roofs of its buildings.
In particular, production is concentrated on one of the sites with large available roof areas but low energy consumption (e.g., warehouse), so as to maximize the sharing of energy generated with the other two more energy-intensive sites.
Configuration
Photovoltaic systems were installed on property rooftops. Primary substation connection allows sharing of energy produced between the most energy-intensive sites.
Benefits obtained
- Optimization of self-consumption among multiple production sites
- Access to the 20-year shared energy incentive
- Reducing energy expenditure for energy-hungry sites
- Improved ESG rating through a sustainable and replicable self-consumption model
Frequently asked questions
Do you have doubts? Here are the answers about theEnergy Sharing service:
-
What is remote self-consumption?
It is the ability to produce energy from renewable sources at one site and use it at other sites of the same legal entity, if connected to the same primary cabin.
-
What benefits does it offer?
A 20-year incentive on shared energy, cumulative with the benefits of self-generation, and environmental enhancement.
-
What is needed to activate remote self-consumption?
Identify the sites involved, verify their connection to the same primary cabin.
-
Who can benefit the most?
Energy-intensive companies with multiple plants or production facilities spread across the territory, who want to optimize the use of renewable energy and reduce dependence on the grid.
