At the same time… 

We design an online platform for energy cooperatives and prosumers. Segments of the platforms are already functional such as  a digital application for the Energy Production  from Photovoltaics and an application for dimensioning a Photovoltaic System by an Energy Cooperative.

We are interested in synergies and research programs with the following topics:
Informational material for citizens’ energy in collaboration with academics, researchers and large electricity supply companies
Possibility of mass purchases of technical equipment (eg photovoltaic panels, small wind turbines, insulating materials)
Digital applications for energy communities and Building Information Management
Study of creation of optimal energy cooperatives (community detection) through power flow study
Finding resources for energy cooperatives’ projects through innovative financial methods (eg crowd funding), as well as informing the communities about the current national and European funding programs
Dynamic price contracts between producers and consumers, using smart contracts based on blockchain technology

What else did we prepare for you?

We started working on Energy Communities before they were legislated in Greece, as we saw their significant prospects. On January 23, 2018, Law 4513/2018 was published, which established the framework for their operation, while in 2023, Law 5037/2023 established two new types of communities, Renewable Energy Communities and Citizens’ Energy Communities.

The experience of the last few years has led us to create an original new service for those of you who want to start such a cooperative and take energy into your own hands!

We become your partners in this cause and support you with our experience, presentations, information material and the additional technical knowledge you will need as you take these steps. Contact us to discuss based on your needs!
