Note

The Barcelona Sustainable Energy Mechanism (MES Barcelona) is a tool to support and accelerate the city’s energy transition alongside private investors. The tool is intended to encourage investment in solar panelling and energy renewal in the city. It is a Barcelona City Council’s new energy-transformation plan that lets citizens install photovoltaic panels on their building using a funded solution with guaranteed materials. Those funding the photovoltaic panel will sell electricity to the building’s owners and, once the electricity-sales contract ends, the panel will then belong to the building’s owners at zero cost. In the meantime, the owners will be entitled to a saving on their energy bill from day one
