ENPOWER — Smart Charging

ENPOWER turns consumers into energy citizens by bringing together actors across the energy system to design and pilot interactive tools, data-driven services, and innovative business models for a consumer-centric future.

What is ENPOWER?

ENPOWER is a Horizon Europe project that pushes Europe’s power system toward a consumer-centric model. It mobilizes citizens and energy communities and builds a toolbox of digital, data-driven services (guided by social-science methods) to help communities save energy, increase self-consumption, and participate in flexibility markets. The project validates its approach in 6 real-life pilot sites across Europe.

How it works?

Deliver grid-operator services through pooled community flexibility.

Harness EV & e-boat flexibility via smart charging and V2G storage.

Shift household demand with demand-response programs and targeted incentives.

Participants: 592 electricity customers, off which 482 are households, 96 are Small and Medium sized Enterprises, and 14 are public authorities

PARITY's Role

Chalki is transitioning from diesel reliance to locally managed renewables. Within ENPOWER, PARITY equips the island with smart EV charging that can be used to aggregate community flexibility and relieve distribution-grid congestion while boosting local self-consumption.
