Tibi
Project overview
🏭 Reference industrial circular energy community
Tibi, the integrated waste management intermunicipal authority for greater Charleroi, is transforming its industrial site in Couillet into an innovative energy ecosystem. This unique energy community brings together companies specialized in circular economy and waste valorization.
⚡ Deployed energy infrastructure: •
3,500 kWp
- potential photovoltaic capacity (750 kWp already installed)
Innovative solar carport
- planned extension on parking with charging stations
16-hectare site
- former industrial brownfield converted into sustainable hub
Projected annual production: optimization of inter-company energy flows
🤝 WeSmart technological partnership: •
WeSmart feasibility study
- validated collective self-consumption modeling
Structured financing
- optimized banking model for solar infrastructure
European EUCF subsidy
- support for energy community development
Modular approach: progressive development according to participants' needs
🏢 Participating companies ecosystem: •
