IP vision and objectives
Flagship Initiative 1:
Develop an Optimised European Power Grid
enabling the appropriate level of reliability, resilience and economic efficiency, while integrating variable
renewables, such as wind and solar generation by providing increased flexibility thanks to innovative
technologies enhancing customer participation, integrating better storage, making the best use of
connections with other networks (e.g. heat&cold, transport) and optimizing the use of flexible sustainable
combined power and heat generation.
Flagship Initiative 2:
Develop Integrated Local and Regional Energy Systems
that make it possible to efficiently provide, host and utilise high shares of renewables, up to and beyond
100% in the local or regional supply by 2030, enabling regions and local communities to realise their high
sustainable energy ambitions.
Expected outcomes:
• Affordable system solutions and services enabling high shares of RES in
energy consumption
• Market ready technologies and business cases for integrated and smart
energy systems and networks
• sound knowledge base on upscaling and transferability of solutions, on
system architectures and their implications on security and resiliency, as well
as on enabling market and business models
IP execution
• Governance Structure with permanent dialogue between EC,
Industry (ETIP SNET), and national stakeholders established
• Joint Programming Platform established, 30 public funding
partners from 23 countries, ~100 Mio € funding spent,
5th (2019) and 6th (2020) joint call under preparation,
Koncept: Impact Network Approach, 3 Layer Research Model, 3

• Project Monitoring and Knowledge Sharing Platform
established; First Joint Working Group with EU Projects
(BRIDGE) and ERA-Net Knowledge Community started

 Concept development, demonstration and replication”
 combine flexibility through digital solutions, usage of storages,
increased share of RES and waste heat, designed into a flexibility
solution in line with SET-plan Action 4
 optimizing the flexibility of the heating/cooling sector while
strengthen local and regional energy systems
 new service to allow for optimized flexibility for local stakeholders,
based on an existing digital platform
 enable district energy systems to act as a component in balancing
the electrical grid

• organise co-creation on a
programme level in order to stimulate
and enable co-creation on project level
• involve intermediaries to approach
the need owners and potential
buyers such as regional development
agencies, governance and planning
entities, operators of public and private
infrastructure (energy networks,
buildings, etc.), ….
• involve intermediaries to solution
providers such as chambers,
incubators, Technology Platforms, local
and regional Energy Agencies,….
• involve financers and investors
Example: Actual Activity
Co-Creation workshop with SET-Plan Initiatives on
Energy Communities, PV Community Self Consumption,
Flexible and Energy Positive Districts
National Stakeholders Coordination Group SNET on 18 June 2019, Brussels
bring together the following SET-Plan Initiatives:
• Stakeholder Initiative on PV Community Self Consumption
(SET-Plan Action 4 / ETIP PV /Solar ERA-Net / JPP ERA-Net SES)
• Task Force on Energy Communities
(BRIDGE / SET-Plan Action 4 /JPP ERA-Net SES)
• Initiative on Flexible or Energy Positive Districts
(SET-Plan Action 3.2 / JPI Urban Europe)
• national and regional initiatives, living labs, demo projects
• Co-creation with need owners and solution providers
What’s next and how to finance it
