Whitenergy, acting as an Energy Service Company, directly invests in the construction of a photovoltaic system, identifies suitable CER participants such as prosumers and consumers, and manages the sharing of energy among members. The service includes management, monitoring, and valorization of produced and consumed energy quantities. The page states that participating companies can obtain economic benefits from shared renewable energy, reduce emissions, and contribute to local sustainability. Green CER is presented as a scalable and transparent solution intended to simplify access to CER-related incentives. ## What Green CER includes - Design and construction of the photovoltaic system at Whitenergy's expense. - Identification of CER members, including prosumers and consumers, in line with ARERA and GSE criteria. - Sharing of produced energy, with administrative and technical management services. - Real-time energy monitoring with reporting of energy flows. - Complete regulatory and bureaucratic support for establishing and registering the CER. - A transparent management model in which the company receives an economic return from the valorization of shared energy while maintaining control over the project. ## Sectors addressed ### Industrial materials Companies in the industrial materials sector with plants concentrated in production areas can create a CER with nearby companies or public entities. The page states that shared energy can valorize local production and strengthen the competitiveness of the industrial district. ### Chemical The page associates the chemical sector with the same description used for industrial materials: companies with plants concentrated in production areas can create CERs with nearby companies or public entities, while shared energy can valorize local production and strengthen district competitiveness. ### Textile The page also associates the textile sector with the same description used for industrial materials: companies with plants concentrated in production areas can create CERs with nearby companies or public entities, while shared energy can valorize local production and strengthen district competitiveness. ### Manufacturing Manufacturing companies located in industrial hubs can share produced energy with nearby companies, supporting collective sustainability and coordinated reductions in energy costs. ### Food Agri-food companies can activate a CER involving suppliers, local authorities, or small local businesses, turning production surfaces into shared energy sources and supporting the local area. ### Agriculture Agricultural companies or cooperatives can promote CERs in rural areas, involving members, local authorities, and SMEs and generating distributed benefits for communities, including more fragile or isolated ones. ### Hospitality Hospitality facilities can promote CERs by sharing energy with other facilities or nearby public and residential buildings, improving their sustainability profile and reducing operating costs. ### Healthcare Private hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities can lead the creation of CERs with public entities or companies in the healthcare sector, with economic and environmental benefits while preserving energy reliability. ### ICT and digital technologies Data centers and digital infrastructure can use building roofs to produce energy that is shared with nearby parties, contributing to sustainability in the technology sector. ## Case study: wine-sector company ### Initial situation A wine-sector company with a production site in Northern Italy had high, continuous electricity consumption for refrigeration and bottling and extensive surfaces available for photovoltaic generation. The company wanted to improve its environmental impact while involving agricultural organizations in the local area. ### Intervention Whitenergy installed a 1 MWp photovoltaic system on the distillery roof and created a CER with two agricultural supplier companies and a local agricultural cooperative. Energy is shared among participants according to consumption and ARERA rules. Whitenergy manages the technical, administrative, and regulatory aspects of the CER. ### Results stated on the page - Real-time energy sharing among four participants. - Significant reduction in grid withdrawals for the distillery. - Economic income from the valorization of shared energy. - ESG communication integrated into the sustainability report. - No direct investment or management burden for the company. ## Case study: pharmaceutical group ### Initial situation A pharmaceutical group with three operating sites covering production, R&D, and logistics wanted to launch an energy-community project to make use of its industrial roofs and share energy with local parties of high social relevance. ### Intervention Whitenergy installed photovoltaic systems totaling 2 MWp on two of the group's plants. A CER was established among the company sites and two third parties: a local medical center and an assistance foundation. Whitenergy carried out the design, authorization, and management activities for the CER. ### Results stated on the page - Energy shared among five parties within the primary substation perimeter. - Optimization of internal self-consumption and redistribution of benefits. - Automated GSE valorization. - Increase in the group's ESG score. - CER establishment completed without operational burdens for the company. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a Renewable Energy Community (CER)? A CER is described as a group of parties, such as companies, organizations, and families, that share locally produced renewable energy, for example from a photovoltaic system, obtaining economic and environmental benefits. ### Who can participate in Green CER? Companies, cooperatives, and public or private entities located in the same area, identified on the page as the same primary substation area as the system, can participate. Whitenergy selects suitable participants and manages the process. ### What are the benefits for a company? The page lists reduced energy bills, an improved ESG profile, use of shared green energy, and an economic return from the valorization of produced energy. ### Does the company have to manage the CER? No. The page states that Whitenergy manages the technical, regulatory, and administrative aspects, from photovoltaic-system design through reporting of shared energy. ## Related links - [Request a free consultation](https://weeg.it/contact) - [Request Green CER](https://weeg.it/contact/) - [Download the Green CER brochure](https://weeg.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/WE_Scheda_Green_CER_ese_01.pdf) - [Industrial materials sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-materiali-industriali/) - [Chemical and pharmaceutical sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-chimico-farmaceutico/) - [Textile sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-tessile/) - [Manufacturing sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-manifatturiero/) - [Food sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-alimentare/) - [Agricultural sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-agricolo/) - [Hospitality sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-alberghiero/) - [Healthcare sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-sanitario/) - [ICT and digital technologies sector](https://weeg.it/soluzioni-energetiche-per-settori-aziendali/settore-ict-e-tecnologie-digitali/)
