What we are doing
1. ENPOWER strives to transform traditional passive energy consumers into active energy citizens enabling them to take full control of their energy usage.
2. The project engages with all the principal actors of the energy value chain, allowing them to achieve energy savings, increase their energy efficiency and self-consumption optimization while transforming energy consumers and communities to digitally enhanced and grid-friendly ones.
3. The project aims to include cross-sector social values in its approach and different value chains (e.g. food along agriculture, blue economy, tourism). ENPOWER, employs a comprehensive methodology integrating social, technological, and business aspects to revolutionize the energy systems and empower communities.

How we are tracking
The ENPOWER framework will be applied, implemented, and validated in 6 real-life pilots (4 Front Runners and 2 Early Adopters), across 6 countries. The large geographical coverage of the pilot sites aims to support the large-scale EU-wide replicability and market take-up of solutions in different socio-economical contexts to maximise the impact of ENPOWER services across Europe.

What we are achieving
1. ENPOWER seeks to create a consumer-centric and socially responsible energy landscape.
2. The Social Layer will unlock consumer preferences and behaviour within energy communities, enhancing citizen engagement, rooted in Design Thinking methodologies, fostering dialogue among stakeholders, facilitating a co-creation and co-implementation process for consumer-centred, data-driven services and incentives. The Technological Layer encompasses a suite of services and tools for individual and community-level energy activation including the Energy Community Planning Tool that provides energy activated citizens with an intuitive view of their energy activation effects, promoting informed choices and community-level benefits. The Business Layer innovates the energy sector dynamics through the design and validation of novel collective aggregation archetypes, like cross-commodity and cross-sector energy communities.
3. This expansion includes the introduction of an Energy Data Community, potentially overseeing a Data Space-driven marketplace.
