INTRODUCTION
The future electricity grid will be decentralised, decarbonised, digitalised and smart. And in this grid, short energy networks using local natural resources will be a priority. The POCTEFA area has exceptional environmental capital and local energy resources, which require improved exploitation techniques, mainly through innovation. To this end, the territory has leading entities and innovation centres in sectors such as renewable energies.

OBJECTIVE
EKATE will demonstrate and develop efficient and smart electric energy management services based on photovoltaic renewable energy generation and shared self-consumption, using “Blockchain” and “Internet of Things (IoT)” technology. Three technical actions will be developed to group different innovative activities: diagnosis, review of opportunities and implementation of 2 demonstrative pilot experiences on shared self-consumption of PV electric energy, evaluation of the same and extension plan. Taking advantage of the existence of a legal framework for shared self-consumption, the main results will be the implementation of innovative technologies in pilot installations for shared self-consumption and the development of new business models that will serve as a reference for the new PV installations that are expected to be numerous in the coming years in the POCTEFA perimeter.
