Imagine your home appliances could talk to the power grid and agree to run when electricity is cheapest or most available. This project creates a digital marketplace where people and companies can trade this flexibility like a barter system. It helps keep the power grid stable without needing expensive new hardware.
Current power markets lack a way to utilize the flexibility of small-scale devices on low voltage grids. This leads to grid instability and missed economic opportunities for end-users and operators.
A flexibility ecosystem consisting of digital tools for local LV markets and a barter-like mechanism for trading energy services.
If you are a DSO dealing with grid congestion on low voltage lines — this project developed a flexibility ecosystem that allows you to manage local demand through market mechanisms instead of costly physical upgrades.
If you are an ESCO dealing with low customer participation in energy saving — this project developed a user-centric approach and barter-like mechanisms that make it easier for citizens to trade their energy flexibility for value.
If you are an energy community dealing with wasted local solar production — this project developed tools to connect flexible devices to local markets, turning excess energy into a tradable asset.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the tools is not listed, though the project received an EU contribution of EUR 7,929,958 for development.
The project is testing the system across 4 pilots covering diverse geographical and economic consumer types to ensure it can be benchmarked and scaled.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project involves 19 industry partners who are implementing the tools.
It is designed to operate on the low voltage grid side of existing power markets, connecting data and technologies to facilitate flexibility provision.
The project period runs from 2022-10-01 to 2026-09-30, indicating it is currently in the implementation and demonstration phase.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 19 out of 23 partners coming from the commercial sector (83% industry ratio). This high concentration of industry players, including 5 SMEs across 6 countries, suggests the project is focused on commercial viability and practical deployment rather than pure academic research.
