Following the Brokerage Event “Going green in Seventeen” jointly organised by AER and ERRIN, we are glad to share with AER member regions three project proposals on energy efficiency that have been discussed during the break-out sessions.
1) Groningen Smart Energy City
The City of Groningen (NL) presented the project idea “Groningen Smart Energy City”, which focusses on positive energy districts, upscaling smart grids and hydrogen economy. Groningen aims at generating all the energy used in the city in a sustainable way in 2035. The Horizon 2020 calls that could be addressed for this project are: EE-06-2016-2017 call Topic: “Engaging private consumers towards sustainable energy”, but also EE-11-2016-2017 Topic: “Overcoming market barriers and promoting deep renovation of buildings” and EE-23-2017 Topic: “Innovative financing schemes”.
The City of Groningen is available to both lead this project but also to play the role as partner. The partner needed to build the consortia are: partners aiming at making their housing supply more sustainable; partners which are working on their networks, smart grids (IT companies, research organisations, businesses, cities etc.); partners that wish to engage more their citizens; and partners involved in hydro-green projects.
The deadline of this call is on 7th June 2017.
More details on “Groningen Smart Energy City’ project are available on the pitch presentation.
