Sustainable Atlantic Communities
Sustainable Atlantic Communities
The SAtComm project enables Energy Communities (EC's) to take control of their profiles and become prosumers to play a central role in the Clean Energy Transition. New EU Directives have been implemented which place the energy citizen at the centre of this transition. Each EU jurisdiction is transposing these into law in a different manner which is hampering the potential EC's can have on the transition. SAtComm will assess the regulation in the 4 Atlantic Areas, develop and implement technologies that suit all jurisdictions, and maximise their sustainability. Energy citizens, from industry to residential, will then be empowered to use mechanisms such as Peer to Peer trading, Demand Side Management, Load Shifting, and Battery Storage. Trials will be conducted in rural/coastal sites in all 4 jurisdictions with the technology emanating from the transnational design process, which can be used as a template for other EC's to replicate and aid the proliferation of these smart grid concepts. SAtComm will enable citizens, from residential, SME and industrial entities, to mobilise as groups into EC's and equip them with the digitalisation and legal tools such that they can be empowered to play a central role in the clean energy transition. It will address the increasing impact of climate change on SMEs and local communities and enable them to integrate renewable energy and smart grid concepts to improve their competitiveness and maximise their sustainability and become prosumers.
Sustainable Atlantic Communities (SAtComm) is a 36-month long smart energy project running from 2023 to 2026. It is made up of 11 partners and funded via the 2021-27 Interreg Atlantic Area First Call for proposals financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The SAtComm project, led by Walton Institute at SETU, is comprised of 11 European partners blending technology leaders in SME and research and development (R&D) sectors with public bodies: Walton Institute at South East Technological University (lead partner); Údarás na Gaeltachta; Universidade da Coruña; Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto; Greenvolt Comunidades; Agence Locale de l’Energie du Centre Ouest Bretagne; Breizh ALEC; Kerwatt; Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa; Energy Research & Intelligence Solutions S.L.U.; and Universidad de La Laguna.
