The OSS business model and its internal procedures will be developed Each service offered by the OSS will be defined and standardised in order to ensure all the pilot communities receive comprehensive assistance and all business and technical decisions for implementation comply with minimum operating standards The internal procedures will be agreed and the skills of the staff delivering the services identified in order to shape the team needs Opportunities to articulate the UPSTAIRS service through or in cooperation with other existing services will be analysed to ensure consumer acceptance and community uptake The specific methodology to bring together noncollectively organised consumers will be developed considering socioeconomic and technological aspects type of measures etc and the outputs of task 52 on assessing potential actors for collective actions It will entail the creation of a regional database of citizens interested in different measures that are willing to develop energy efficiency projects through collective action This intracommunity cooperation will represent the critical mass needed to optimize consumer collective purchasing power The database will be able to filter according to different criteria type of measure location expected investment and others and will be a scalable tool to put together nonorganised individuals and engage them into collective actions The UPSTAIRS OSS business model will be the platform through which the UPSTAIRS Implementation Champion may also facilitate the combination of collective solutions to optimise energy management eg distributed generation storage or demandresponse as an aggregate within the community to increase impact and bankability of the implemented technologies This standardised OSS business model and the methodology will deliver a flexibly designed framework in a dissemination format to be used for replication purposes Chapters in the delivered business model framework will include the regional adaptations from Task 25 in order to provide examples on different strategies to put an OSS for the promotion of collective actions into each of the 5 pilot regions
Analysis of Distributed Ledger Technology (e.g. blockchain) Potential to Facilitate Community Collective ActionInvestigating distributed ledger technology (e.g. blockchain) potential in the UP-STAIRS platform will be of significant importance, thus ensuring that the platform remains relevant with current practices. ESEB will lead this collaborative research with the other partners, with the intention of producing a detailed report, outlining the future inclusion of blockchain in the platform and how it can facilitate the next level of collective action effort.
Monitoring programme for OSS practical operationIn order to collect information and draw conclusions about practical implementation of OSS models for collective action, a special monitoring programme will be developed starting from the first month of OSS operation (M18). This programme will consist of parameters to be monitored (both qualitative and quantitative), target stakeholders to be addressed (mainly IC but also local authorities, representatives of local energy communities, etc.), specific tools to be used (questionnaires for data collection, interviews, methodologies for data processing), and time-schedule for monitoring
Collective Community Engagement strategiesAs citizens are at the heart of the energy transition individualized regional citizen engagement plans for communities will be designed and tailored to each context based upon a standard blueprint developed as part of the UPSTAIRS OSS Framework For this the Engagement Strategies will build on the Barcelona Municipality Energy Information Points a public service codesigned and coordinated by Ecoserveis from 2016 the Rhodoshop project in Bulgaria the Cork Smart Gateway for Citizens Engagement Survey project and the Community Energy Strategy of the UK Although these projects had objectives other than collective action their engagement strategies at community level and the results will be used as inputs to the overall UPSTAIRS engagement strategies Within the UPSTAIRS Framework structure the community engagement strategy will be managed by the UPSTAIRS Implementation Champion in each region and used as a starting point with communities that are very new to the SEC model Development of all the strategies will involve facetoface meetings with the community to present the OSS and its services and will use participative methodologies identified in Task 21 to better identify and connect with peoples needs
Detailed Report on the legislative, administrative and incentive framework for collective actions in different countriesThis task will conduct the survey and focused interviews on the main problems needs challenges that citizens and all interested actors eg representatives of schools hospitals local companies etc may face when they act collectively to scaleup their investments etc to garner funds or other support Task leader will provide a template of the questionnaire and interviews that other partners will conduct in their regions In parallel the desktop survey of the regulatory and legislative framework in partner countries context in the light of how legacy facilitators can supportrelieve emerging collectivisescommunities to face regulatory and technical issues The latter are assumed to suffer from a still weak decisionmaking power The synthesis of these will identify the obstacles and drivers of the projects implemented and study their replicability

Review existing OSS Structures, Strategies, Tools, Policies and ProjectsDesktop analysis will be performed by collecting information about different existing Onestopshop OSS models with their specific features and processing into a comprehensive guidance material The desktop analysis will commence with an investigation of existing materials about OSS models and their practical implementation using as a starting point the following resourcesThe outcomes of the CITYnvest Project and more specifically the experience of GRELIEGE and Rhodoshop OSS and the findings from A review of local authority innovative large scale retrofit financing and operational models developed within the projectThe results from JRC Report The market of onestop shops around Europe The Enerinvest project Map of Experiences where ECO has already gathered and analysed different OSS business models across Europe and the USIf proved valuable other potential sources of summarized information about OSS business models functioning around Europe will be researched and used in the desktop analysis In addition to the desktop analysis personal interviews will be held with a number of selected OSS cases which show the most promising results according to the desktop analysis The interviews will be held in person or by phoneskype with the main aim to get firsthand information about the successes and more important the barriers which often tend to be undervalued and not shown in the public spaces like webpages and written reports These early interviews will provide guidance for the focus of future workshops WP3 WP4 WP5 and WP6 At the end of this task there will be a comprehensive report on current status and perspectives of OSS across Europe to be used as a basis for Task 22
Organise one-day workshops with relevant stakeholders and producing an outcome report.3The objective of this task is to organize 3 workshops to engage decision makers, and share the identified regulatory barriers and potential solutions for collective actions and discussing best ways to communicate with citizens. The workshops would focus on brainstorming the solutions, presenting project success cases and discussing further actions through the world café approach if suitable. Each workshop will be placed strategically to maximize impact to policy and decision-makers. A workshop outcome report will be delivered after each workshop. Updates to the UP-STAIRS Energy Service Framework will be applied as appropriate.
Framework for legal support to citizensThe project will follow a mentoring scheme in this WP, as it will be used in WP3. This will be conducted via: (I) face-to-face meetings and direct communication between citizens and local authorities (II) the communication tools that will include all results from the project’s action concerning the legislative and administrative framework, as well as incentives possibilities, and (III) the guidance provided from each pilot OSS step-by-step during the process of the project. Each partner will register and share the difficulties they encounter with other partners, as among the consortium there might be some partners that have already overcome these hindrances. So, the overall consortium will take advantage of experiences from other countries in the overcoming of these blockages.
UP-STAIRS partners will host and participate in a final conference to be held towards the end of the programme (M39) where the project team will present its outcomes and the future steps towards the use of UP-STAIRS across the European Union. The final conference will address experts, energy managers, researchers, local authorities, large enterprises CEOs, and policy makers wishing to be informed of the programme results to exploit them in their local, national and international environments.

Dissemination Materials .2As described in section 2.2 of this proposal, targeted publications relating to programme activities as well as looking to the future of Sustainable Energy Communities (SECs). For example, a paper targeting policy-makers will be produced to help close the gap on current policy support for SECs and current activities at the grass roots level. The project will deliver a paper with recommendations for citizens and community leaders will gather the lessons learned in promoting collective actions. The project partners will participate in relevant forums (e.g. national steering/ focus groups), fairs and events to further boost the dissemination of programme outputs and opportunities offered by cross-sectoral and regional innovation. Furthermore, the project will run 3 workshops per pilot region during the delivery of WP3, aimed at capacity building and sharing of best practices (Task 5.3). UP-STAIRS partners will host and participate in a final conference to be held towards the end of the programme (M39) where the project team will present its outcomes and the future steps towards the use of UP-STAIRS across the European Union. The final conference will address experts, energy managers, researchers, local authorities, large enterprises CEOs, and policy makers wishing to be informed of the programme results to exploit them in their local, national and international environments. ESV will develop templates for UP-STAIRS presentations and reports (M2), together with a programme leaflet (in different languages if required), which will be available in digital and printed format. An informational fact sheet will be developed at the beginning of the programme by ESV in different languages in digital and printed format for distribution at seminars, conventions and conferences. Other dissemination materials will be produced (flyers, posters) to reach the citizens and let them know the OSS service as part of the Community Engagement Strategy in WP2.
Digital Platform Test Plan and Test ResultsThis task will be led by GCN and will include a series of tests that will be carried out on the web-based and mobile applications of the UP-STAIRS platform. In addition, it will describe a series of use cases aimed at ensuring that the project delivers on its objectives and meets the requirements defined in the Software Project Management Plan (SPMP). Testing will be carried out throughout the project (Unit / Regression) and as this is an agile process, all partners will contribute to carrying out the tests described in the testing plan. This task will deliver a thorough Software Testing Report including the results of the tests described in the Software Testing Plan.

Self-training modules for citizens and potential UP-STAIRS ICWith the lessons learned during the pilots, training modules for self-training will be developed. They will target two profiles: citizens willing to promote collective actions, and energy consultants/experts to act as UP-STAIRS IC. ECO will develop a self-guide document with practical information on OSS business models, how to set up a collective action, and which legal steps have to be considered. SEC will develop a self-training guide on financial models and which financial schemes can be used along with financial performance information. ASEN will develop a training guide on the OSS governance structure and coordinate with ECO and SEC based on the pilot results. KAPE will provide a training document on understanding policies in a practical way. The modules will consist of videos and materials that will be uploaded to the website. All material will be in English.
UP-STAIRS digital platform will be delivered for engagement of different stakeholders and facilitating collective action. It will provide the following services: oDecision support services for the energy assessment of the community and its potential for local generation or service to the grid. This includes organisational, business and financial model and decision-support system for community-level energy management and renewable energy generation projects. oAn information repository on policy and regulatory adviceoA compendium of energy tutorials on key topics including behaviour change, prosumerism, collective actions and their benefit to consumers, and what it means to be an energy citizen in a sustainable energy community. oTraining materials for ICs designed to prepare them for the intricacies of UP-STAIRS Service delivery and expansion in a community
