Peak load management for Communities

The project develops and demonstrates solutions that reduce peak electricity loads in 6 pilot communities. Grid capacity bottlenecks and rising energy transition costs make international cooperation essential for adapting innovative solutions to diverse local conditions and sharing effective practices. Building on earlier pilots, the project applies tested concepts that form a foundation for further development to solve the growing peak load problem, and rapid scaling across different regions. It will deliver open source software, practical toolkits, and community driven solutions enhanced by results from previous projects. A key focus is the involvement of young people in designing, developing, and testing the pilots. Their participation provides fresh perspectives and valuable hands on experience for our energy transition. Expected impacts: reduced peak loads, lower energy costs, deferred grid investments, and improved youth participation in remote regions
