CREATORS aims to accelerate the integration of energy communities across Europe by supporting local actors throughout the entire life cycle of a CES and bringing “CES-as-a-service” models to a commercial readiness level. The project will develop and prepare a set of applications and service packages that will help in the initiation, planning, implementation and operation of Community Energy Systems. Additionally, will be designed and built viable business models upon verifiable data on technical and financial performance.

DATA CELLAR aims to create a public energy dataspace that will support the creation, development and management of LECs in EU. Such dataspace will be easy to populate (also via an innovative rewarded private metering approach) and easy to interact with, also guaranteeing a smooth integration with other EU energy dataspaces and providing to LEC stakeholders services and tools for developing their activities. DATA CELLAR will implement a collaborative platform.

DEDALUS will design, develop, and demonstrate SSH-driven multi-value energy carrier-agnostic micro (home/apartment)-to macro(building & district-scale) participatory Demand Response (DR) ecosystem, aimed to facilitate and scale up residential energy consumers massive participation to DR; to adapt to a variety of different mono-carrier (electricity, heat) or multi-carrier synergetic scenarios (electricity vs heat and natural gas) at building/district scale, while strengthening social interactions within respective communities.

The DIGITISE project leverages digital technologies and data to accelerate the clean energy transition. It aims to enhance digital literacy among consumers and prosumers, empowering them to engage in digital energy activities and markets. By combining expertise in energy systems, flexibility services, energy markets, and human engagement in digital ecosystems, DIGITISE integrates advanced technologies into a comprehensive consumer empowerment framework.

DR-RISE’s main objective is to demonstrate the benefits of residential demand response (DR), not only for the end-consumers but for the overall energy system and the actors involved. The project will offer a holistic set of tools and services with a twofold objective: increase energy efficiency via optimal management and demonstrate the benefits of DR. The platform will be showcased in three different EU countries, gathering diverse environments (e.g., pre-existing energy communities, urban blocks of flats, low-income households, etc.). The approach is completely aligned with the EU’s vision to place the citizens at the heart of the solution and empower them so that they can make self-aware decisions.

DRIVE2X aims to accelerate the shift to mass electromobility deployment through innovative smart charging techniques and technological advancements in bidirectional charging solutions. A set of low-cost bidirectional charger units are tested and validated under different use cases in eight demonstrators, presenting different operational settings (buildings, homes, and directly at the grid level), contributing to accelerate the wide uptake of V2X (Vehicle-to-everything) technology.
