Discover the power of local heroes with SHAREs, a Horizon 2020 project that supports and empowers individuals to start or grow their energy communities. SHAREs not only facilitates the growth of these communities, but also empowers them to engage directly with consumers and bridge the gap for those unfamiliar with the concept of energy communities. In each partner country, a dedicated gateway serves as a central hub that provides everything needed to start or grow an energy community:

They were established using the previously published blueprint that provides the structure and ideas for national one-stop-shops dedicated to energy communities and collective actions.

ETIP PV Conference 2024

The EU-funded DC-POWER project has officially started in January 2024. The project's first consortium get-together has taken place in Chambéry, at the CEA the coordinator premises, on the 11th & 12th January. Over the course of its four-year duration, the project aims to demonstrate the benefits of direct current grid at medium voltage for local distribution compared to a standard 3-phase AC local distribution grid.

Stay tuned! More information will follow soon!

Explore the latest publications from the SERENDI-PV project to delve into cutting-edge research on solar energy. These publications represent the dedication and expertise of project partners, pushing the boundaries of knowledge in PV generation.

They illuminate the path to overcoming two significant challenges the project is addressing: reducing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) for PV and enabling the integration of a rapidly increasing share of PV power into power networks, up to penetration levels of several dozens of percent.

Discover the recently launched BioTheRos project website, offering information in partners' local languages (GR, SP, DE, NL), in addition to English. The project’s objective is to develop a comprehensive approach to accelerate the production of sustainable biofuels.

The 41st edition of the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition is set to take place from 23rd to 27th September 2024 in Vienna, Austria. The EU PVSEC is the leading event in the fi eld of Photovoltaics. It combines a high-level international Conference on research, technology, and applications with an innovative PV Industry Exhibition that attracts companies, manufacturers, and research centers worldwide.

If you wish to showcase your research work to leading international experts in the field of PV, make sure to submit your paper by 2nd February.

Additionally, for companies seeking enhanced visibility, consider securing a spot at the innovative industry exhibition!

However you choose to contribute to the event, we are looking forward to having you join the EU PVSEC 2024 in Vienna!
