- A CAE is an electronic document that certifies energy savings equivalent to 1 kWh over a one-year period. They play a fundamental role in a system that promotes the global search for energy efficiency in all productive, business, public, and private sectors
- This new partnership will promote the activation of energy-saving measures eligible to become CAEs through an innovative aggregation platform that will streamline management and processing, while also giving its members the opportunity to expand their professional scope
Moeve and the Colegio Oficial de Graduados e Ingenieros Técnicos Industriales de Madrid (COGITIM) have reached a collaboration agreement related to the Energy Saving Certificate (CAE) system. This partnership will allow the energy company to acquire energy savings promoted by COGITIM members through the aforementioned institution's aggregation platform. This will significantly reduce processing times and improve accessibility for applicants, as well as establish a structured system for integrating information, which will ultimately facilitate the work of COGITIM members when creating documentation for energy saving actions that can be converted into CAEs. Additionally, this initiative will foster new opportunities in terms of employment and the development of knowledge and innovation chains while also boosting the access of energy savings owners, who will be able to benefit from the monetization enabled by the CAE system.
This CAE system was launched in 2023 by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITECO) as a powerful and dynamic instrument to promote energy efficiency across all productive, business, public, and private sectors. These certificates accredit that an action has resulted in energy savings equivalent to 1 kWh during a one-year period. The great advantage of this instrument is that it makes it possible to monetize savings quickly and therefore recover part of the investment.
This is an incentive system that, according to official data, nearly 3,000 GWh of energy savings have already been submitted for certification since its launch, with an average compensation of over €100/Mwh of energy savings.
José Manuel Martínez, Executive Vice President of Technology, Projects and Services at Moeve, praised the creation of this collaboration framework: "For Moeve, it is a source of pride to sign this partnership agreement with such a prestigious and technically-sound institution as COGITIM that will allow us to promote energy-saving measures in a more agile and widespread manner, generating solid opportunities in terms of development, innovation, and employment. This step forward in terms of aggregation, in collaboration with Moeve, will turn all those energy savings into CAEs and monetize this value chain. An activity intended to boost energy efficiency and sustainability, as well as the creation of knowledge chains and high-quality employment. All of these elements are key to continue moving forward in our Positive Motion strategy, with which we aspire to lead the energy transition by 2030."
José Antonio Galdón Ruiz, chair of the Colegio Oficial de Graduados e Ingenieros Técnicos Industriales de Madrid, added: "We especially highlight and deeply appreciate the outstanding willingness and collaboration shown by Moeve from the very beginning, which has allowed us to establish an efficient, solid, and transparent model that will lead to the implementation of a new service for our members, who, in turn, will be able to offer it to their clients — both companies and individuals — thus helping establish a virtuous circle of sustainable economy to drive the energy transition."
