Kythnos engagement workshop

Workshop to explain and demonstrate the WiseGRID tools

27^th April 2018 – 19:00 – Cultural Association of Dryopida

Dear Participant,

We are facing a rapidly changing energy system. Examples such as the increasing integration of renewables and the shift towards a more rational and efficient way of energy use, can easily be found everywhere through Europe. Therefore, the European project WiseGRID aims to provide a set of solutions and technologies to increase the smartness, stability and security of an open, consumer-centric European energy grid. These solutions will be demonstrated and evaluated under real life conditions in 4 demonstration sites. Your neighbourhood is one of these pilot sites.

We are delighted to invite you to participate in a workshop to gain more information and insights in the WiseGRID-tools that will be developed in your living area. This interactive workshop will give a floor to discussions, questions and any feedback.

Participation in the workshop is free of charge but registration is required by sending an email to valia.iliopoulou@aegean-energy.gr.

Organisers: Aega in collaboration with REScoop.eu.
Duration of the workshop (including registration and networking drinks): 2 hours

WHY join the workshop?

Your pilot city is participating in the WiseGRiD project as a testing site which will not only bring benefits to the local community energy savings but also:

• increase overall efficiency through a holistic approach of the electricity, heat and gas sectors at consumer level;
• contribute to a 50 per cent renewables share by 2030 and a 20 per cent reduction of CO2 emissions;
• reinforce the position of the European renewables, storage and EV industry at a global level;
• contribute to the creation of 1,800 direct and 90,000 indirect jobs.

WHAT will be done during the workshop? 

In this workshop you will be able:

• to hear a throughout explanation and description of the tools which will be deployed in your living area;
• all participants will have an opportunity to have an individual discussion with the project managers who will deploy the tools;
• join an open discussion forum.
