ACCEPT - ACtive Communities & Energy Prosumers for the energy Transition

In order to maximize the grid integration of variable renewable energy sources in a cost-efficient way, ACCEPT aims to untap the demand flexibility potential from energy communities by actively involving them and their members in the project activities.

To achieve this, the project will develop and deliver a digital toolbox which will be used by the energy communities and prosumers to achieve certain objectives. These objectives include i) the development of innovative digital services, for the community members and customers and ii) the access to revenue streams that will support the longevity and the well-functioning of the community itself.
