Abstract

The growing demand for accessible, locally available energy solutions, combined with the urgency to implement new regulations for the clean energy transition, highlights the need for widespread adoption of renewable energy on a much larger scale than is currently in place. Households account for 36% of total energy consumption in the EU (source: European Parliament), making them one of the largest contributors to overall energy usage. Their adoption of energy-efficient solutions is critical for achieving Europe’s climate goals. The SERENE project group, consisting of three EU-funded projects (SERENE, LocalRES, SUSTENANCE), is developing cutting-edge solutions to transform energy management and empower citizens and municipalities. Together, these projects aim to foster innovation, promote energy efficiency and renewable energy, and drive the transition towards a decarbonised energy system. Supported by the Horizon Results Booster (HRB) programme of the European Commission, the SERENE group collaborates to disseminate their findings and address the key challenges associated with scaling renewable energy adoption across Europe.
