With this project initiative, COSMO Service S.r.l. aims to consolidate its role in the Apulia region (by establishing a stable local unit), an idea considered several times in recent years, with a planned investment tailored to specific research needs, follow-up on acquired contracts, and commercialization of potential future solutions.
The company seeks to strengthen its competitiveness in the region, thanks to greater proximity to already-served areas and maintained networks, and through an innovative Industrial Research and Experimental Development project (carried out on-site), detailed in the following section.
The project intends to offer new functional solutions for a SMART energy network to monitor the operational parameters of energy storage systems and MV/LV transformers in secondary substations, in a way that aligns with investments already made by key regional players.
The Apulia region, due to its geographical size, terrain, and climate, has always been a region with a high concentration of renewable energy plants, with a particularly strong increase in infrastructure in recent years. From 2010 to 2016, the installed power from renewable sources quadrupled, as did the number of municipalities where plants are installed, which now produce more electricity from renewable sources than is consumed by households. This infrastructural activity is also closely tied to the region’s social and political commitment to the complete decarbonization of energy production.
In this scenario, the Apulia region was one of the first to streamline the authorization process while simultaneously providing its citizens with new incentives to use renewable energy. Since March 2019, a regional law has allowed the region to purchase photovoltaic systems for domestic use, providing them on a free lease for nine years, renewable for up to 25 years. From the perspective of the technological infrastructure necessary for the distribution and transmission of electricity, Apulia represents a reliable case study of what, with the widespread use of renewable energy, will become the technical control and management challenges of a modern electric grid in the coming years.
