Families, companies and administrations must be jointly responsible for achieving energy sovereignty, each within their financial means. So that families can make the shift to the new energy model it is necessary to provide them with comprehensive support in the form of a public body of technical advisors to endorse the future investment entailed by generating their own renewable energy. In this respect, town councils will need to prepare a local plan to ensure the smooth development of local energy facilities and they will need guidance from this public body to guarantee that formulas affordable by all citizens are put in place to help implement the production and consumption of zero-mile renewable energies. Lines of tax incentives for families will also be a significant factor while it is advisable to also deliver a range of additional policies, as well as making permits for tax on buildings, facilities and works (ICOI) free of charge, applying the minimum real estate tax (IBI) rate and providing local subsidies, particularly for rural and isolated homes. In addition, each local area will need to benefit from land, infrastructure and public resources in order to produce renewable energy for its citizens. Moreover, a supra-municipal grant plan will be needed to cover the lack of means affecting many local areas.
