Reschool

Short description of the project

RESCHOOL improves the way energy communities operate by enhancing the technology and behaviour of their users. This will help to make these communities more efficient and effective in their use of energy.

Currently, the energy sector is responsible for 72% of the EU’s green house gas emissions, this situation calls for a rapid and effective decarbonization of all sectors. Reaching the sustainability targets negotiated under the Green Deal requires facing the green transition towards clean energy by increasing the renewable share and efficient use of energy.

RESCHOOL aims to increase the active participation of communities in energy markets, enhancing and facilitating the management and trading of flexibility in cooperation with sectoral players.

Methodologies used in the project

RESCHOOL focuses on empowering energy communities as relevant energy actors in the energy value chain, not only as collective self-consumers but also as flexibility providers and prosumers. A significant aggregation of heterogeneous energy assets that includes production (e.g. PV, Power-to-X, CHP), storage (e.g. batteries, thermal) and controllable loads (e.g. shiftable loads, heat pumps, etc.) offers enormous potential and opens the participation of energy communities as significant actors in demand-side management (DSM) programmes.
