Association of producers of renewable energies (APPA)

The Association of producers of renewable energies (APPA) was established in 1987, 24 years ago, and is composed of five hundred companies related to the sector of renewable energies.


APPA is the only Association of national level related to renewable energies, which represents companies related to biofuels, biomass, wind, photovoltaic, geothermal low enthalpy, hydraulic, marine, and high enthalpy geothermal minieólico and thermoelectric solar.

Its objective is the creation of conditions favourable for the development of renewable energies, in order to achieve what works in different ámbito:uno of the most important objectives of APPA is raising awareness in society about the need to use and produce renewable sources which respect the environment and ensure sustainable development.No less important, is its process of dialogue with public and private entities (autonomous agencies, environmentalorganizations, chambers of Commerce, trade unions and any collective interested) on different aspects involved in its activity.Another important objective of APPA is coordination with educational institutions to disseminate and investigate everything related to renewable energy.Its presence as an expert in the field of renewable sources was memorable in the development of the Royal Decree 2366 / 1994 on production of electricity with renewable energy sources, with the sole purpose of better place this type of energy against the old Decree.





For those of you who are interested in making you partners, you need to know the Services offered by APPA as Association to its members:

APPA offers legal advice and criteria for action in different areas.
It keeps informed its members about updates on the legal provisions that are generating in the official newspapers of the State, autonomous communities of the European Union.

The APPA is a medium of communication itself as reported on the activities related to the sector, organizes conferences, seminars and conferences through which disseminates news and advances.
The APPA struggles to get the best conditions for its partners, negotiating insurance, Civil liability, loss of production or breakdown of machinery, etc.

Something important this Association, is that despite being State-level presence in Europe due to their membership in different associations allow you to defend their interests:

AEBIOM(European Biomass Association)EBB (European Biodiesel Board)EGEC (European Geothermal Energy Council)EPIA (European Photovoltaic Industry Association)ESHA (European Small Hydropower Association) EUFORES(European Forum for Renewable Energy Sources)EU-OEA European Ocean Energy Association)EWEA European Wind Energy Association)GIA (Geothermal Implementing Agreement)Finally, APPA is represented in the Power of the National Energy Commission Advisory Council and is part of the Committee of agents of the Spanish market of electricity, of the EREN, and others.
There are people who care for you and what you need, supporting a cause as important is everyone's responsibility.

What are alternative energies?

All Over the world, is now an alarmingly high rate energy used free due to the rapid industrialisation and increased awareness among consumers. Most of the world's present energy is generated by fossil fuels, which are having disastrous effects on the environment on a global, local and regional levels.

Fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil are used to create more than two thirds of our electricity and almost all of our fuels for transport. Our fossil fuel reserves are diminishing quickly to meet the increasing demand of energy and also their use is becoming more expensive by the day. Not only that, the burning of fossil fuels causes global warming of the Earth and release of many harmful green house gases in our atmosphere at a very high rate.

The term "alternative energy" has become a bit of a catchy phrase these days. People use this term usually but they would have completely different ideas of just what it means. As mentioned above, most of the energy produced in the world today comes from the fossil fuels such as coal, oil or natural gas. The simplest meaning of the term "alternative energy/renewable energy/green energy is energy from a renewable or green source (other than fossil fuels).

Alternative energies are energies generated and used in a way that promote or are compatible with long-term human well-being and ecological balance. Alternative energy or renewable energy turning out commercially viable for a growing list of consumers and used. Alternative energy technologies offer many advantages and are suitable for the General sustainable development i.e. the development of the economy, the environment and social welfare.
Renewable/alternative energy is the energy from natural processes that are often supplemented. Most renewable energy sources are environmentally friendly and combat global warming by reducing carbon emissions and also allow the economies to their dependencies on politically turbulent Nations to curtail. Renewable energy is generated from solar energy, wind, rain, tidal, hydropower, biomass, geothermal sources, biofuels and hydrogen.

If you're tired of your electricity bill ever are rising and you don't want to waste more money on your electric bill or you want to help the global economy and save the Earth ... you have here the solution. With the ever increasing cost of living, there is no better time to stop throwing money and begin to create renewable energy for your home itself ... the best choices for generating renewable energy for homes are solar energy, wind and micro-hydro energy generation. Following sections will explain these options in much detail with benefits to give you a good heads-up in case you are interested in the generation of energy from alternative sources for your homes.
