Project
SmartCORE
Smart Community-Owned Renewable Energy Management for North-West Europe
SmartCORE is an ambitious Interreg North-West Europe project dedicated to empowering Energy Communities (ECs) across the region. The primary goal is to significantly increase the share of renewable energy (RES) by providing ECs with integrated energy management capabilities.
Through collaboration between partners in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Ireland, and the Netherlands, SmartCORE aims to help ECs organize and improve their collective RES production and consumption, enhance RES integration into the energy mix, and de-risk further RES investments. EnergieID plays a vital role by providing data insights, platform tools, and expertise to the Belgian pilot projects and the overall SmartCORE solution.
SmartCORE Objectives
The SmartCORE project has several key objectives:
- To enlarge the share of renewable energy (RES) in North-West Europe (NWE) by providing integrated energy management capabilities to NWE Energy Communities (ECs).
- To help 6 existing & 6 new ECs in Luxembourg, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, and France organize & improve their collective RES production & consumption and enhance RES integration.
- To develop these capabilities on Smart Community-Owned Renewable Energy (SmartCORE) in varying contexts to de-risk & support further RES investments in NWE.
- To address territorial challenges related to energy transition such as Awareness, Participation, Resilience, and Independence for energy communities.
EnergieID: Powering SmartCORE with Data & Insights
At EnergieID, we're focused on providing the essential data tools and platform for the SmartCORE project. We empower energy communities and their members by:
- Offering clear insights into energy consumption, production, and costs through our user-friendly portal.
- Supporting intelligent energy management with advanced analytics, forecasting input, and tools for local energy steering.
- Ensuring participants can easily monitor their impact and engage actively in the energy transition.
Our goal is to make complex energy data accessible and actionable, helping communities optimize their renewable energy use and contribute to a more sustainable future.
