because it is the most obvious starting point for creating green jobs and generating local wealth. Local renewable energy puts the power in local empowerment.Van Jones
and an accompanying economic infrastructure, both of which favored the few over the many. Over the course of the past century, the deepening divide between the haves and have-nots, and now the connected and unconnected, has been attributable in no small part to the nature of our fossil-fuel energy regime.Jeremy Rifkin

Funding, management, marketing models and strategies
Escogenia delivers 100% renewable energy solutions to islands and communities on mainland not connected to the electrical grids. These communities, in the middle of seas or in the middle of deserts they could be, experience high costs of electrical power generation as they use fossil generation (mostly diesel power plants) with high costs for fuel and fuel transportation. Not to mention the environmental costs, with air pollution, CO2 emissions, site degrading, noise and other bad facts. Last but not least, the service level often is low, with frequent outages and hourly limitations, as it's dependant on site fuel availability (and local stocking facilities), which could be discontinuous, particularly in case of severe weather when refueling can not be guaranteed. Escogenia's solutions are turn-key and sustainable, for communities which have not the competencies and the resources (human, technical and economical) to address these problems. Escogenia provides services for these communities developing and deploying projects for:
photovoltaic, eolic, biomasses and mini-hydro state-of-the-art plants, to start the path to 100% renewable
innovative projects to integrate RES and create energy independence and local energy markets for the communities, on the way to address external and global markets
open and inclusive approach to empower the communities in running their business with benefits and profits
Escogenia is specialized on development, integration and deployment projects of Renewable Energy Sources and environmental sustainability.
Escogenia's first project is on a small Greek island and it's the base to develop its energy delivery model.
The island is currently served by a thermo-electrical plant located on the adjacent bigger island. The island is very popular among tourists and has a population of few hundred in winter and several thousand in summer.
Escogenia has presented to the Municipality of the island a project aimed at creating a local Energy Service Company (ESCO), to be owned by the Municipality, island residents, industrial partners and external investors.
The ESCO objective is to make the island 100% renewable and sustainable.
The ESCO will manage the energy production from renewable sources on the island, following a path that will gradually lead to the sale of energy to the external marketplace. The first stage will provide savings for the residents and the second stage will bring the creation of an independent smart grid. Other island's industries, tourism and agriculture first, are involved by the project obtaining effective cross-marketing benefits.
The project is now being discussed by the community of the island (dissemination phase).
.
In a scalable and sustainable logic, RES plants start to be deployed by the ESCO to provide savings of energy and costs for the residents, in order to fulfill their needs of users. Net metering is used.
When RES plants are enough to cover the winter peak of electrical loads, the ESCO integrates them in a smart grid, in order to fulfill the needs of the community with centralized energy stocking facilities. A local market is activated.
RES plants are increased and the summer load peak is covered, the island is 100% renewable. Further improvement of the renewable generation capacity of the island is dedicated to produce energy to be sold on the external markets.
