Smart energy solutions sought by new project
Businesses offering smart energy-efficient electricity solutions are being invited to sign up to a new project enabling them to promote their technologies and services and develop business opportunities to supply remote island and isolated off-grid communities.
Supported by Interreg VA France (Channel) England, The Intelligent Community Energy (ICE) project aims to facilitate the design and implementation of innovative smart energy solutions or services within the framework of low carbon energy models for isolated territories in the English Channel area that face unique energy challenges.
ICE label opportunities
An ‘ICE’ label will be awarded to applying companies to certify they have expertise in smart grids and their solutions are suited to isolated territories and are transferable. The ‘ICE’ label will offer commercial opportunities, testing possibilities and a package of support including market intelligence, networking and matchmaking events, increased market exposure and support to identify funding sources.
There will be opportunities for the smart energy solutions to be implemented and tested at real pilot demonstration sites in the UK and France.
Solutions such as offshore renewable energy, energy storage systems, smart grid systems and alternative fuels will be considered. The project is looking to sign up companies within the entire energy cycle from production through to consumption.
