inteGRIDy’s Push for Energy Self-Sufficiency: EU Horizon 2020 Cyprus Pilot

inteGRIDy is an EU Horizon 2020 Project that investigates how electric grids of the future could work by analysing the results of 10 energy pilot schemes running in countries across the European Union. The pilot schemes are based on the project’s four main pillars: demand response, smartening the distribution grid, energy storage and smart integration of transport-focused grid users. inteGRIDy aims to develop what it calls "integrated Smart GRID Cross-Functional Solutions for Optimized Synergetic Energy Distribution, Utilization Storage Technologies." Even with a total budget of EU15.8 million, inteGRIDy has some ambitious goals. inteGRIDy starts with a focus on integrating existing technologies to implement a smart grid distribution platform. Specifically, the network of inteGRIDy partners are working to offer “smart grid energy services” for low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) networks. inteGRIDy has already built programs to provide solutions for business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) market contexts. inteGRIDy is funded by the EU in order to support demonstrations of smart grid, storage and system integration technologies, all with an eye towards an increasing share of renewables.
