The project developed a digital platform that allowed residents to share locally produced renewable energy, using smart mechanisms to balance energy demand and optimise consumption across entire neighbourhoods rather than just individual buildings.
The value for property owners
NRG2Peers provided property owners with the technical and legal foundations to transition from passive consumers to active “prosumers” within an energy community. The project focused on making energy communities financially and technically viable, offering a user-centred way to invest in renewable technologies while sharing the benefits, and the excess energy, with their peers.
UIPI’s contribution
UIPI ensured that the development of energy communities accounted for the specific legal and practical interests of private property owners. We provides expertise on how energy sharing models affect landlords and homeowners, highlighting potential regulatory hurdles at the national level, and helped ensure that the NRG2Peers platform remained a practical and attractive tool for the residential sector.
