The group’s added value comes from its ability to comprehensively manage photovoltaic consumption projects. This entails designing the installation, acquiring the equipment, assuring its legality, activating it, managing subsidies from Next Generation funds, financing, and the option of incorporating batteries, as well as the maintenance services associated with the installation. The company focuses on the single-family dwelling sector, homeowners’ associations, and companies, and even though it operates all over Spain, the regions of Madrid and Catalonia stand out for the largest number of contracts registered. Plus, Naturgy also partners with 120 installation companies specializing in the sector.
The drive for self-consumption is part of Naturgy’s commitment to the energy transition, to which it also contributes with its strategy of developing an international portfolio of renewable energies and its focus on developing renewable gases.
Photovoltaic self-consumption installations are a great chance to lower your electric bill, improve the visibility of long-term energy costs, and help to lower the planet’s CO2 emissions. And given society’s awareness of the environment and energy efficiency and an increasing concern with the price of electricity, the self-consumption solution that the company offers has sparked keen interest among potential customers.

Plus, the company has just launched its Virtual Battery, a new product it is including in its solar program to offer customers better control over their consumption and help them save.
This product allows customers with a photovoltaic installation in their home to accumulate the amount equivalent to the energy surpluses that are not offset in their bills as a Virtual Battery balance and use it to lower the cost of their energy bills.
This service offers an additional advantage compared to simplified surplus offsets, which only discount the amount of energy contributed to the electric grid up to the limit of the cost of the energy consumed in the same month. However, the launch of the Virtual Battery provides an innovative solution, as customers can accumulate the amount not offset and use it at another time in the year in the home where this balance was generated, or even in other properties that have contracted their energy with Naturgy.
This method allows the monetary value of surplus energy to be optimized, with the potential to lower future energy bills (both electricity and gas) down to zero as long as the customer has a sufficient balance in their Virtual Battery. The end savings will depend on the correlation between the amount of energy put into the grid and the consumption at the supply point.
Likewise, the company is also rolling out the “Naturgy Solar” initiative, a comprehensive, personalized solution to provide companies and households with access to photovoltaic solar energy and self-consumption. By installing panels and batteries, it offers customers savings of up to 70% on their electricity bill or up to 40% just with the installation of photovoltaic panels.
What is more, Naturgy and MÁSMÓVIL have signed a partnership agreement for the large-scale promotion of energy self-consumption via artificial intelligence and to speed up its roll-out in households and companies.
Likewise, as the first step in this alliance, the telecommunications operator will exclusively sell Naturgy Solar over the next three years in all its channels, both in-person and digital. So the solar self-consumption service, which Grupo MÁSMÓVIL is now offering Yoigo customers, will soon be available for customers of the group’s other brands.
Plus, the energy multinational has joined Madrid Solar, an initiative of the nonprofit Madrid Futuro to promote the roll-out of photovoltaic self-consumption among homeowners’ associations and to step up the city’s energy transition towards a more sustainable model. By this action, the group will increase the installation of solar panels on the roofs of residential buildings in Spain’s capital, which will allow their residents to benefit from major savings on their electricity bills stemming from producing the electricity they consume.
