Webinar: Smart Energy Systems & Virtual Powerplants: Boosting Energy Efficiency in Finland, Ireland & Iceland

As the transition to a greener Europe accelerates, innovative energy solutions are becoming vital for sustainable growth. The COPOWER project invites you to a webinar presenting the final results and key lessons learned from our pilots developed across Finland, Ireland, and Iceland. The primary aim of these pilots was the development of virtual powerplants (VPPs) to enable smarter, more efficient energy management.
