On 21-22 November 2023 the second General Assembly of the European Horizon project “REplicable, interoperable, cross-sector solutions and Energy services for demand side FLEXibility markets“ (project acronym REEFLEX) was held. It reviewed the achievements of the past year, discussed the challenges faced, and set goals and objectives for the next 12 months. The project aims to create niche opportunities for new cross-sectoral energy services to be provided by SMEs and start-ups in demand flexibility markets. The success of the implementation of the solutions depends to a large extent on the active involvement of energy consumers.
In the coming period, Lithuanian Energy Institute will be responsible for the implementation of Task 7.4 “Social acceptance and behavioral aspects of consumers’ acceptance of technologies”.
The innovative solutions developed in this ambitious project will be demonstrated and tested in four main demonstration sites (Spain, Greece, Switzerland and Bulgaria). In addition, the service catalogue will be further rolled out in three more European countries for wider coverage (Turkey, Portugal, Denmark) and adoption, for a total of seven countries over the life of the project.
