The energy model on which the majority of cities in developed countries are based upon is characterized by centralization and unsustainability. Barcelona, being a Mediterranean city, faces the challenge to increase its solar energy supply, moving towards a more sustainable energy model, while strengthening the network's business sector. ASCAME is committed to this initiative, in the framework of the European project FOSTEr in MED gathering together in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Navigation of Barcelona, several experts in the field of renewable energy, as well as companies, public authorities, universities and organizations that will analyse the state of sector, its’ trends and the business development scenario emerged.

4. Project objectives
• To promote and implement innovative
technologies and know-how transfer for
decentralised, small scale, solar power
systems, integrated in public buildings.
(264 kWp in 10-12 buildings)
• Cross-border public-private partnership
and cooperation from Med regions
(Spain, Greece, Egypt and Jordan)
• Focused on solar technologies avai- lable in
the market, that may require to be scaled-
down and adapted.
Main expected outputs
• To improve knowledge on the potential
and compative cost-benefit of these
solar technologies.
• To define building-integrable systems
for these solar technologies.
 Solar systems chart of options
 Small scale applications (from 10 to 20 kWp)
• To carry out a set of applications of these
systems in the Partners’ Mediterranean
Regions.
• To recommend new public policies to
promote decentralised solar-power
applications in the Mediterranean regions
