Digital Tools to Turn Energy Consumers into Active Market Participants and Prosumers

energyPilotedTRL 6

Imagine if your home's energy system worked like a smart stock portfolio, automatically buying and selling power when it's cheapest. Most people find this too complex or scary to do themselves. This project builds a simple digital bridge that lets regular people easily trade energy and earn money without needing to be tech experts.

The business problem

What needed solving

Energy consumers are currently passive because energy markets are too complex and digital tools are not user-friendly. This prevents them from making money as prosumers and slows down the green transition.

The solution

What was built

A set of digital tools including DLT-enabled marketplaces, AI analytics, and data spaces for secure energy trading and monitoring.

Who can put this to work

Energy Retail
enterprise
Target: Energy Retailers

If you are a retailer dealing with passive customers who don't respond to price signals — this project developed digital marketplaces and AI analytics that turn these users into active prosumers. This allows you to better balance your grid load and create new service offerings.

Software as a Service (SaaS)
SME
Target: Energy Management App Developers

If you are a software provider dealing with fragmented energy data and low user trust — this project developed secure data spaces and interoperable digital tools. You can use these to provide a transparent interface for households to manage their energy assets.

Utilities
mid-size
Target: Local Energy Communities (LECs)

If you are a community energy manager dealing with technical barriers to peer-to-peer trading — this project developed DLT-enabled marketplaces. This enables your members to exchange energy locally and share the financial value created.

Frequently asked

Quick answers
