A pilot project in Ireland will explore community-led solar projects and examine how smart energy management can strengthen grid resilience.

Ireland is joining a new European initiative that hopes to improve how communities produce, consume and share renewable energy.

Called Innovative Transactive Renewable Energy Communities (INNO-TREC), the project offers free web-based tools to guide communities in successfully setting up and running collective solar installations. The project is funded by the European Commission under Horizon Europe.

In Ireland, INNO-TREC will see collaboration between Dublin-based Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Europe, Cork’s DCSix Technologies, University College Cork (UCC) and the Dingle Hub.
