SAtComm

The SAtComm project is about giving Energy Communities the tools they need to be in control of their energy and actively contribute to making our energy systems cleaner. New rules from the European Union are making individual energy users more central in the shift towards cleaner energy. However, each country in the EU is adopting these rules in its own way, which is making it challenging for Energy Communities to have a significant impact on this transition.

SAtComm plans to look into the rules in the four Atlantic Area regions, create and use technologies that work for everyone, and make sure they're sustainable. This way, all sorts of energy users, from industries to homes, will have the power to do things like trade energy directly with each other, manage their energy use wisely, shift when they use electricity, and store energy in batteries. The project will test these technologies in rural and coastal areas in all four regions, and the lessons learned will be shared so that other Energy Communities can use them as a guide to adopting similar smart energy concepts.
