Imagine a neighborhood where everyone with solar panels can easily sell or share their extra electricity with neighbors who can't afford their own. It's like a digital community marketplace that handles the payments and energy flow automatically. The system also uses game-like rewards to encourage people to save energy and participate.
Solar adoption is slowed by bureaucratic hurdles, energy poverty in rental systems, and the technical complexity of sharing decentralized energy between neighbors.
A blockchain-enabled P2P energy trading platform, optimization tools for PV systems, and gamified engagement apps for citizens.
If you are a utility provider dealing with unstable grids due to fragmented solar installations — this project developed blockchain-enabled P2P trading and optimization tools that improve energy autonomy and resilience.
If you are a software company dealing with low user engagement in energy apps — this project developed gamification and educational tools that increase citizen participation across different cultural profiles.
If you are a manager dealing with energy poverty in rental housing — this project developed inclusive social data spaces and collective self-consumption schemes that ensure fair energy distribution.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost details are not provided.
The solutions are being validated in 4 European Renewable Energy Communities located in Switzerland, Cyprus, Portugal, and Italy, with additional insights from Egypt.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding IP or licensing agreements.
The project addresses regulatory barriers hindering the adoption of Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) and collective self-consumption schemes.
The project period runs from 2025-10-01 to 2029-03-31.
The consortium is heavily market-oriented with a 47% industry ratio, comprising 7 industrial partners (including 3 SMEs) and 5 universities. This balance suggests a strong focus on commercial viability, with the project's technical development supported by 15 partners across 8 countries, ensuring the solution is tested in diverse Mediterranean and European regulatory environments.
