Effective Uptake of Digital Services to Repower European Consumers and Communities as Active Participants in Energy Transition and Markets

Project description

Bridging the digital divide in energy

The energy sector struggles with effectively integrating digital tools and services, hindering innovation and efficiency. Consumers face barriers in adopting new technologies, often due to a lack of user-friendly solutions and clear benefits. This gap between technology and consumer needs slows down the transition to a more digitalised energy system. Addressing these challenges is crucial for achieving a sustainable and efficient energy future. In this context, the EU-funded EU-DREAM project brings together leading energy industry and research partners to accelerate digital innovation. Aligned with the EU Action Plan on Digitalisation of the Energy System, the project develops next-generation energy services and solutions. These will be tested in living labs across six EU countries.

Objective

EU-DREAM brings together a group of preeminent energy industry and research partners focused on accelerating innovation in digital tools and promoting the effective uptake of digital services. EU-DREAM is aligned with the EU Action Plan on the Digitalisation of the Energy System as it proposes to develop the next generation of energy services, solutions and products that really work for energy consumers, fully tested and demonstrated in 6 LLs in 6 EU countries (Portugal, Belgium, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Denmark). EU-DREAM will address the barriers, motivations, and drivers from the consumer’s perspective, intertwining the new technological developments with SSH expertise. All EU-DREAM technical solutions will produce high-level TRL 6-7 results by the end of the project.
