INTRODUCTION

TO CELINE

CELINE (Cross-sectorial integrated digital services Enabling energy Localized InnovatioN and community Empowerment) aims to transform the energy sector through digital innovation and citizen participation. The project is dedicated to fostering the development of energy communities, enabling a more accessible and resilient energy system across Europe. At the core of CELINE is the Digital Toolbox, designed for households, energy communities, and cooperative groups to optimise energy management and empower consumers.

This toolbox will be able to treat different kinds of data (cross-sectoral data sources) and to guide end-users in making future investments related to energy and consumption, such as photovoltaic (PV), batteries, electric vehicles, and heat pumps.

Thanks to the toolbox, households, consumers, and energy communities are empowered to make better-informed decisions on the energy market and increase their energy savings.

CELINE's demonstrations across Europe (Spain, Finland, and Italy) will validate its scalable and adaptable solutions for diverse energy community models.

Turning Europe’s Digital Energy Tools into Services Local Communities Can Trust

Imagine a municipality trying to plan a local energy service. Building data sits in one system, meter readings in another, grid constraints are managed elsewhere, and citizens need clear answers about how their information will be used. Each resource may be valuable on its own, but the service will only work if these pieces can be connected, understood, and governed together. This is the practical challenges being explored by CELINE.

Open Source Digital Toolbox

Europe depends on suppliers outside the bloc for more than 80% of its key digital technologies. CELINE is a working instance of the alternative, an open-source toolbox for energy communities, developed over the past year and already running in three countries.
