Webinar

Unlocking community-based flexibility to transform the energy system III

How can we involve citizens in the energy transformation? Discover new tools to achieve decentralized energy systems.

The 30 April 2021 from 10:00 to 11:30 Brussels time

Energy communities are usually presented as synonyms of innovative digital services involving demand-side flexibility like optimised self-consumption or aggregation. In the bigger picture, they hold a key role in a decentralised energy system based on constant exchanges between all system actors. However, how can citizen identities fulfil such a dynamic role? What are the missing tools to enable a fully decentralized energy system? In this webinar, the project REScoopVPP and the start-up GridSingularity will propose complementary tools to enable the participation of citizens in a locally managed and interactive renewable energy grid.

The webinar is a result of a collaboration between:

  • REScoop VPP: Horizon2020, Grant agreement ID: 893240
  • GridSingularity
