Description du projet
Le pouvoir aux citoyens
La décentralisation de la production d’énergie peut apporter de nombreux avantages. Cette transition permet aux particuliers et aux entreprises de jouer un rôle dans le système énergétique, en les faisant passer du statut de consommateurs passifs à celui de participants actifs à leur système énergétique local. Le projet eCREW, financé par l’UE, coordonnera la mise en œuvre d’un programme innovant de coopération des ménages dans le domaine de la gestion de l’énergie. Plus particulièrement, il développera des réseaux communautaires d’énergie renouvelable permettant aux ménages d’optimiser leur efficacité énergétique et de réduire leurs dépenses. Il procèdera à des tests des réseaux communautaires sur les ménages et mettra en place quelque 200 réseaux rassemblant 15 000 participants. Le système sera établi de manière telle que les avantages pécuniaires des réseaux communautaires d’énergie renouvelable seront répartis entre les prosommateurs, les consommateurs traditionnels et les entités administratives.
Objectif
eCREW coordinates and supports the roll-out of an innovative scheme of household cooperation in energy management. These are Community Renewable Energy Webs (CREWs), in which households jointly exploit household-level electricity generation and battery storage capacities and optimise energy efficiency and expenditures. The key purpose of CREWs is to support the transition of passive consumers to active participants in the local energy system through informed decisions and collective actions.
In eCREW, three energy companies from DE, TR and ES (Lighthouse Communities) will roll-out the eCREW approach to their clients. A strong and divers Follower Community made up of entities from AT, DE, ES, FR, GR, SE and TR is made fit for giving the eCREW approach a “Go”, too. Together, 240,000 households will be enabled to join a CREW during the project runtime, establishing about 200 CREWs with 15,000 participants, saving at least 13 GWh/year.
Cooperation within a CREW is facilitated through the provision of an award-winning smart phone app (PEAKapp), exploiting smart meter data to stimulate an increase in energy efficiency and the uptake of local renewable electricity generation.
Administration of the CREWs, including the billing of consumption and generation, is covered by electricity retailing companies which are thereby transformed into holistic service providers; we call them Community Administering Entities (CAEs). In our approach, administrative burdens are relieved from the households, who are then free to focus their efforts on making the most out of their participation in a CREW.
Monetary benefits from the eCREW approach are distributed amongst prosumers, traditional consumers, and the CAE through an innovative split-incentives contract applied in the project. The financial arrangement is tailored to ensure that the eCREW approach is financially viable and attractive for all participants and allows a non-discriminatory participation of all households.
