We are pleased to introduce six newly published FEDECOM factsheets, each showcasing the innovative objectives and activities of our three FEDECOM pilot projects. These pilots address six distinct use cases, illustrating diverse solutions for enhancing local energy systems.

We are proud to announce that our latest research paper, “FEDECOM: Enabling Cross-Border Energy Exchange by Federating Energy Communities”, is now published on Open Research Europe!

FEDECOM project is pleased to invite you to attend the next webinar that we are co-organizing as part of the upcoming EM-Power Europe (https://www.em-power.eu/home), 2024 event. This webinar will take place on Tuesday, April 9th, 2024 - 11:00am–12:15pm CEST (Webinar Language will be in English). We will talk about “European Energy Communities: Sector Coupling, Flexibility, and Operational Perspectives”.

Based on the system of systems approach, this paper introduces a 4-step funnel approach and a 4-step reverse funnel approach to systematically specify and detail demonstration scenarios for energy community projects.

By developing features for Fedecom, colleagues from UCL (Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium), have published, 19th December 2023, a methodology paper about how to optimises the investments over a 30 years transition period while accounting for hourly resolution. The 48 pages scientific publication is available on the ResearchGate Web portal.

Ana Trbovich co-founder of Grid Singularity, partner of the FEDECOM project authored an article for Smart Energy International on a topic of strong relevance to our project.

Current Horizon 2020 (H2020) and Horizon Europe (HEUR) projects focusing directly on ECs where FEDECOM seeks collaborations

Energy system models serve as advisory tools for decision-makers to assess the impact of their choices. Utilizing open-source models enhances the transparency and replicability of results, enabling external individuals to build upon previous studies.

The German energy agency has just published a large study that Grid Singularity has conducted with Fraunhofer Institute on “Vision of a Decentralised Energy Market for Germany in 2030”. Key results including FEDECOM project perspective have been presented in an article available on Medium website.

FEDECOM project has been invited to participate in a webinar to present key elements on energy communities and the project approach to support federation of energy communities. This event in French is co-organized by the Réseau Climat & Développement (RC&D), ENERGIES 2050 (member of the FEDECOM consortium) and ENDA Energie and will take place on Monday October 16, 2023 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. GMT. The Theme is “Achieving a Just Energy Transition: Myths & realities and challenges for Africa”.
