Every year the European Commission recognises the most outstanding individuals and projects for their innovation in the energy sector and renewables. This year, 9 finalists will compete in 3 award categories: Engagement, Innovation and Youth. The Interreg NWE-funded Community-based Virtual Power Plant (CVPP) project that they are involved with has been nominated to the Engagement category and they are one of the three finalists!

Community Power is seeking public support to vote for the CVPP project! Full details on how to vote are on the news section of the website communitypower.ie

Why should you vote for CVPP?

Because it is a game changer:

  1. It is a radical sustainable innovation but it is different from others: while empowering prosumers and communities, it can also offer advantages for the larger energy system.

  2. It accelerates energy transition by showing that alternative ways of organising the energy system is possible.

  3. It embeds a trans-national and trans-disciplinary set of partners and presents thereby a unique example of socially-relevant R&D.

Community Power and partners are already very happy to be nominated but winning this prestigious award would be even better. If you want to support this local business, you can do it by voting here https://eusew.eu/awards-public-vote

The winners will be announced on 23 June during a live, online Awards ceremony.
