ACCEPT Grant
HYPERTECH Energy Labs have been awarded a new R&D contract from the European Commission (Project: ACCEPT - ACtive Communities & Energy Prosumers for the energy Transition). Demand flexibility from residential buildings is the main untapped source of flexibility currently in the market and promises significant flexibility potential, especially taking into account the electrification of heat and transport mega-trends. Energy communities are a promising organizational vehicle for involving citizens – who directly control residential demand - in the energy transition, but currently lack the necessary tools to exploit the available opportunities and create financially viable operations based on the provision of services that citizens want.
