EPRI’s European Workshop Week, bringing together more than 250 participants from over 100 companies and 21 countries

Dublin, Ireland (March 21, 2025)

eNeuron is a project funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme which rolled out from November 2020 until January 2025. It has involved a team of 21 partners, including EPRI Europe, from 10 countries. The eNeuron goal was to set out a practical and evidence-based framework for optimising the design and operation of local energy communities.

The EU-DREAM project, a European project dedicated to pioneering next-generation energy services, solutions, and products that genuinely benefit consumers, is launching a survey to explore consumer needs, motivations, and challenges related to the flexibility and controllability of household appliances. This feedback is vital in shaping innovative, consumer-driven energy solutions.

EPRI, a global non-profit energy research and development organization, today announced the international expansion of its DCFlex initiative, starting with participants in Europe.

Introduced last year in the United States, DCFlex explores how data centers can support the electric grid, enable better asset utilization, and improve interconnection and efficiency. The collaborative effort—with Google, Meta, NVIDIA, and various utilities as founding members—now includes France-based RTE and Schneider Electric, Amsterdam-based ING, and PPC Group, based in Athens, Greece.

A four-year project involving EPRI Europe has developed new design simulation models for offshore wind turbines, finding that using less material in turbine construction can reduce the cost per unit of produced energy by up to 9%. That could boost the competitiveness of offshore wind, helping the European Union meet its goal of installing 450 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2050.

As the digital age transforms the energy landscape, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and critical energy infrastructure could boost efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.

Brussels, Belgium (October 1, 2024)

The AGISTIN consortium convened on the 26th and 27th of September at Fraunhofer’s office in Brussels for the first periodic review, marking a major milestone in the project’s journey towards developing advanced grid interfaces for energy storage integration. The review covered the achievements and progress made in the first 18 months.
