Imagine a neighborhood where everyone shares solar power like they share tools, but with a smart app that handles the money and rules automatically. It's like a digital club that lets neighbors group their energy use to get better deals from the big power grid. This system removes the confusing legal and technical hurdles that usually stop people from starting these energy cooperatives.
Citizens face high technical, legal, and administrative barriers when trying to form energy communities. This prevents them from participating in energy markets and utilizing their own renewable assets efficiently.
A 'one-stop-shop' Core Platform integrating IoT, Blockchain, and Cloud Computing, alongside a comprehensive Knowledge Base for legal and technical setup.
If you are a grid operator dealing with unpredictable local energy spikes — this project developed a Core Platform that aggregates community energy assets. This allows you to manage distributed energy resources as a single, predictable block rather than thousands of tiny points.
If you are a software firm dealing with the complexity of P2P energy trading — this project developed tools using Blockchain and IoT. You can integrate these into your offering to let users trade energy directly with neighbors.
If you are a developer dealing with high energy costs for new residential complexes — this project developed a Knowledge Base and digital tools to set up Citizen Energy Communities. This enables your residents to generate and share their own power, increasing property value.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost structures are mentioned; the project focuses on delivering an open digital one-stop-shop platform.
The project uses Cloud Computing and IoT to enable aggregated positions in energy markets, suggesting a design intended for scalability across different community sizes.
Based on available project data, the project aims to deliver an open digital platform, but specific licensing terms are not detailed.
Yes, it specifically addresses the 'Clean Energy for all Europeans' package by streamlining the legal and administrative requirements for RECs and CECs.
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-06-30, with monitoring devices and tools already deployed in pilots during the second year.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward industrial application, with 9 industry partners and 5 SMEs, representing a 43% industry ratio. With 21 partners across 8 European countries, the project has a strong cross-border validation mechanism, combining the technical expertise of 7 research organizations and 2 universities with real-world commercial implementation.
