BEFLEXIBLE project aims to overcome existing limitations in the electricity markets by applying versatile solutions that allow grids to adapt to upcoming scenarios. Thus, it will promote mechanisms that provide benefits to all actors in the energy market (from market operators to end users), responding to all types of consumer needs. BEFLEXIBLE’s objective is to increase the flexibility of the energy system, improve cooperation between Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and facilitate the participation of all energy-related stakeholders.

BEST-Storage aims to develop both long- and short-term high-energy density storage solutions. These include a thermo-chemical and loss-free storage technology for seasonal storage, two phase-change materials slurry concepts, and vacuum-insulated water storage, for cold and warm applications to shift peak load demands. The project will integrate these storage solutions into smart-building energy management systems to reduce operating costs for short-term applications.

The general scope of the proposed project is to evaluate and demonstrate in large scale the possibility of recycling or resource recovery from blades and similar waste materials in a large consortium with some of Europe's key players in areas of importance for the project.

Project BLOW aims at unlocking the Black Sea fLoating Offshore Wind potential, by demonstrating a disruptive cost-efficient floating integrative unit design optimised for low and medium wind speed areas. BLOW will implement a 5 MW demonstrator in the Black Sea and will pave the way to industrial mass production and to the deployment of floating offshore wind farms.

The CELINE project aims to create a cross-sectoral digital energy ecosystem by developing secure and efficient digital tools for data management across the energy sector. It supports local energy exchange and peer-to-peer trading through innovative business models and encourages citizen participation through co-design methods, participatory governance, and training. By defining standardiased policies tailored to energy communities, the project ensures regulatory alignment. Demonstrations across various European regions will validate the scalability and adaptability of its solutions.

The European Commission’s “Clean Energy for all Europeans” package (CEP) has introduced concepts for Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) and Citizen Energy Communities (CECs), aiming to promote energy citizenship and active participation in energy markets. COMMUNITAS aims to overcome barriers and streamline these concepts, delivering a Knowledge Base and innovative tools using technologies like IoT, Blockchain, and Cloud Computing. The project also involves citizens in Social and Policy Labs to incorporate their feedback and needs into core developments, positioning them at the center of energy markets.
