⚡ DEDALUS & DigiBUILD Project: leveraging advanced technologies, data, and community involvement to transform energy management and building operations 👇🏽 💡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗘𝗗𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗦? DEDALUS is a cross-border project to create a multi-value, energy "carrier-agnostic" ecosystem that empowers residential consumers to actively participate in Demand Response (DR) programs. ℹ️ According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a demand response (DR) approach provides incentives to shift or reduce electricity demand in wholesale and third-party power markets to help balance the grid. With that in mind, the DEDALUS initiative aims to: ✔️ Facilitate massive participation of residential energy consumers in DR. ✔️ Adapt to various mono-carrier (electricity, heat) or multi-carrier scenarios at building and district scales. ✔️ Strengthen social interactions within communities. 👉🏽 CIMNE is proud to participate in the consortium alongside top research and industry partners, through the Beegroup - CIMNE innovation unit. 🔎 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗗𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗦 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛 To achieve these goals, DEDALUSis depolying: 1️⃣ A Social Science Framework for multi-dimensional incentives and nudging interventions. 2️⃣ AI-based clustering and segmentation algorithms for consumers. 3️⃣ Open APIs for DR-ready smart appliances. 4️⃣ Energy DataSpace adaptation for extended DR interoperability and privacy-preserving DLT/Blockchain Data Governance. 5️⃣ Digital Twins for consumer-aware DR flexibility planning. 6️⃣ Comfort-based flexibility models for serviced flats for elderly people. 7️⃣ Flexibility management tools for building and district energy communities. 8️⃣ Optimal aggregation of flexible energy assets for district heating and decentralized power-to-heat. 9️⃣ A Business Sandbox with novel sharing economy social innovation-based business models. 🎯 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗧 DEDALUS solutions will be validated through five full-scale pilot projects and replicated by two multipliers across seven countries. These pilots will operate at the intersection of energy and non-energy sectors, involving various stakeholders such as social housing operators, building operators, aggregators, energy communities, retailers/suppliers, and DSOs/District Heating Network operators. 🌱 We are excited to work alongside European colleagues for a greener tomorrow! #EnergyManagement #SmartEnergy #Innovation #CIMNE #DEDALUS #Sustainability

ISF have launched the Energy Development Plan to decarbonize the Economy reports for Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda. The three energy reports are the result of a joint research by Power Shift Africa and ISF. The findings show that secure and accessible 100% renewable energy systems in Africa are not only technically achievable but economically desirable too.

𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐈𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 319𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐄𝐏𝐑𝐈 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐢 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 319Climate is proud to announce its participation in the Electric Power Research Institute’s (EPRI) Climate READi Affinity Group (CRAG). This partnership aligns with EPRI’s Climate READi (REsilience and ADaptation Initiative), which is focused on adapting the power sector’s capacity to tackle the challenges posed by climate change. EPRI’s initiative aims to provide essential research, tools, and frameworks that enable utilities and energy companies to adapt their infrastructure and operations to future climate risks, ensuring continued delivery of reliable, sustainable, and affordable energy in an evolving environmental landscape. 319Climate’s involvement will concentrate on Technical Working Group 3 (WG3), which emphasizes Resilience and Adaptation Planning and Prioritization, furthering collaborative efforts to focus on climate resilience across the energy sector. Through EPRI’s collective efforts, including contributions from member utilities, government bodies, and industry stakeholders, the initiative aims to strengthen proactive climate risk management in the power sector, encompassing areas like renewable energy, grid modernization, energy storage, and cybersecurity.

🌊 🌏 Ocean industries play a vital role in driving economic development, social prosperity, nature conservation and climate action. Currently, the OECD predicts that ocean-based industries will exceed $3 trillion in annual value by 2030.   We were thrilled to participate in the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI) roundtable in Brussels. The event brought together leaders from the ports, shipping, and offshore renewable energy sectors to share insights and best practices that will help shape the upcoming Lloyd's Register Foundation's nature-positive engineering foresight review. As industries like offshore wind experience rapid growth and the demand for ocean space rises, we face both an opportunity and an imperative: to balance economic benefits with protecting the ecosystems that underpin a regenerative blue economy and sustain long-term resilience for coastal communities.

Delighted to publish this Local Energy Planning report just after Ofgem opened their Regional Energy Strategic Plan policy framework consultation. We identify an important role for RESPs in supporting local energy planning – developing common modelling assumptions and open-source geospatial tools, as well as providing technical support. Five recommendations for effective local planning to accelerate net zero energy systems: > Consolidate learning from local energy planning across GB > Develop a consistent framework for local energy planning; including standardised data protocols and access > Treat local energy planning as a process not an outcome: prioritise accessible and adaptable modelling tools, not one‑off plans > Integrate community and citizen engagement in local energy planning > Focus support on translating plans into delivery and investment strategies https://lnkd.in/eMVKq5zC https://lnkd.in/emWGzENB

We had the wonderful opportunity to present a poster at the MaREI Symposium last week in Cork! The poster outlines the #MarineSABRES approach to the development of a Simple SES Framework for ecosystem based management. It was great to learn about so many other diverse and interesting projects at the session - from renewable energy technologies and decarbonisation strategies to climate change mitigation, citizen science and more! 👏 #marinemanagement #ecosystembasedmanagement #EBM #blueeconomy #HorizonEurope #MissionOcean
