Energy Cooperatives Ireland

Network

Energy Cooperatives Ireland is a co-operative working on renewable energy consultancy and promoting community access to the benefits of renewable energy. Its membership ranges between renewable energy experts, experienced co-operative regulations advisers, an expert project managers, financial advisers and a highly skilled communications and media team. Energy Co-operatives Ireland has an open democratic structure. It supports co-operatives that have as wide a community membership as possible and seek to distribute benefits to the community as a whole. It has been successful in assisting community co-ops at every stage of their development, from their first public meeting to the successful processing of a planning application and their sourcing of finances.

Relation to DECIDE

Energy Cooperatives Ireland is in the process of building a network of national Energy Communities, in addition to having carried out a wide range of case studies.

MUSE GRIDS

H2020 Project

MUSE GRIDS is a project that aims to demonstrate the concept of a “smart energy system” by putting together a set of technological and non-technological solutions targeting the interaction of local energy grids (electricity grids, district heating and cooling networks, water networks, gas grids, electromobility etc.) in order to enable maximisation of local energy independency. It does that by optimising the management of the production via end user-driven control strategies, smart grid functionality, storage and CHP and RES integration.

Relation to DECIDE

MUSE Grids will implement two large-scale pilot projects in in a European urban area (OSIMO) and a European rural area (OUD HEVERLEE), both with a weak connection with the national energy grid and energy markets. By doing this, they will demonstrate how to interconnect local energy grids; how to utilise synergies in the energy system to maximise efficiency, reduce costs, CO2 emissions and energy losses; and how to reach affordable energy independency mainly maximising local self-consumption based on RES.
