What is it?
A community-level energy optimization framework built on the NEOGRID platform. It enables coordinated management of local renewable generation, energy storage, and flexible loads across multiple households or buildings.
What makes it unique?
Unlike traditional single-home solutions, this approach aggregates resources to:
- Maximize self-consumption
- Reduce peak demand
- Improve grid stability
Key Features:
- Advanced forecasting and demand-response algorithms
- User-friendly interfaces for citizens and housing associations
- Interoperability with existing systems
- Scalable deployment for diverse contexts—from small cooperatives to large urban communities
Why make it public?
To accelerate adoption of collective energy strategies aligned with EU decarbonization goals, foster innovation partnerships, and demonstrate replicable models for sustainable energy communities.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- We are sharing our knowledge
- Incubators / Accelerators
- Marketing Mentoring or Coaching
We are seeking partners across the EU—municipalities, housing associations, energy cooperatives, and technology providers—who can leverage the NEOGRID platform to support end-user communities in optimizing energy consumption. Our need is collaboration on pilots and deployments integrating local generation, storage, and smart control to reduce costs, improve grid flexibility, and accelerate citizen-led sustainability. We aim to align with Horizon Europe objectives, creating scalable, replicable solutions that strengthen energy resilience and foster innovation partnerships.
