DICAE provides a platform that validates, aggregates, and files certification applications for energy‑saving measures—such as efficient appliances, low‑resistance tires, or electric vehicle swaps—within Spain’s CAE incentive system. By handling the entire certification process at scale, it turns eligible sales into a new revenue stream for retailers, with mass validation and market‑based liquidation of the resulting incentives.

Problem
Retailers and sales networks often sell energy‑efficient products—such as low‑rolling‑resistance tires, high‑efficiency appliances, or electric vehicles—but lack a streamlined way to certify the resulting energy savings within Spain’s CAE incentive system. Consequently, the monetary incentives tied to those savings remain unclaimed, representing a missed revenue source for both the retailer and the consumer.
Solution
DICAE provides an end‑to‑end platform that validates, aggregates, and files the documentation required to certify energy‑saving purchases under the CAE scheme. The service integrates with a retailer’s existing sales processes, automatically identifies eligible transactions, and prepares bulk dossiers for submission to the regulatory authority. After certification, DICAE negotiates market‑based payouts for the aggregated portfolio and disburses the funds directly to the participating business, turning routine sales into an additional, liquid revenue stream without imposing operational overhead on the retailer.
Target Audience
Primary customers are retail chains, automotive service networks, and appliance distributors that sell energy‑efficient products and seek to monetize the associated CAE incentives.
