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.

CELINE Advances in Designing Pilots to Improve the Digitalization of the European Electricity Market

The CELINE project is driving the energy transition and contributing to a more efficient, sustainable, and empowered energy future in Europe. During its General Assembly, led by the project’s coordinator SpindoxLabs in Trento, the team made significant strides in designing pilots set to launch in Spain, Italy, and Finland.

CELINE: Shaping a New Digital and more Sustainable Energy Ecosystem

Led by Spindox Labs and Funded by the European Commission, the initiative is designed to improve the digitalization of the energy sector and benefit Energy Communities.

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.

Digitalisation on the ground: Lessons from CELINE’s demo sites

Too often, energy innovation is framed in abstract terms. The CELINE project changes that by testing advanced tools in real energy communities, proving that data and participation can reshape how Europe produces, shares and consumes energy.

This interview with Tanvir Hasan explores how the European project CELINE uses energy living labs to promote participatory innovation across three demo sites.
