Energy prosumerism is more than just a trend—it’s a movement! This concept, first coined by Toffler (1980), merges “producer” and “consumer,” highlighting the shift toward creating and using our own energy for a sustainable future. 🌱 As global energy systems evolve, prosumerism stands at the forefront of decentralization, community-driven energy, and a more democratic approachContinue reading “🔋 Powering the Future with Energy Prosumerism! 🌍”

Updates and next steps guided by the project coordinator: IDENER The DR-RISE project, now celebrating its first anniversary, has witnessed significant progress in its ambitious initiative to revolutionise residential demand response through innovative technology and social innovation. The project launched with the project kick-off, followed by two general assemblies every six months. The assemblies wereContinue reading “Celebrating one year of DR-RISE!”

From May 20 to June 20, ELECTRA (DR-RISE partner) traveled to Thessaloniki, Athens, Patras, Ioannina, and Mytiliene, visiting energy communities and citizen-led groups to discuss DR-RISE and the solutions to be created through participatory methods. The Greek pilot project is expanding rapidly as ELECTRA travel around the country, engaging in discussions about demand-side flexibility andContinue reading “The first DR-RISE tour in Greece”

Recently, CTIC Technology Centre participated with great enthusiasm in the ECTP Conference held in Brussels. Among the many initiatives and conferences attended, a standout session was conducted by Dr. Irene Lopez de Vallejo, the expert responsible for European affairs. The title of her presentation was “Buildings with Feelings”. During this intervention, Irene explored how real-time analysis of information collected in buildings canContinue reading “ECTP Conference”

🏠 DR-RISE considers end-users – residential households – as the centre of the energy transition. To enable end-users to make self-aware decisions about their energy use, DR-RISE is building tools to provide them with information and promote engagement in demand response (DR) practices. 📝 As a first step, Trilateral Research – a project partner of the DR-RISE project – is leadingContinue reading “Survey with residential households at the DR-RISE pilot sites”

EU legislation currently empowers any end-user to engage in both explicit and implicit demand response, laying a solid foundation towards a sustainable energy system. To fully unlock this potential, however, a more comprehensive implementation by Member States is essential. By addressing the existing gaps in legislation, Member States can catalyse the advancements of demand response, transformingContinue reading “Fostering Demand Response in the EU – Challenges Solutions and Future Outlook”
