This mapping exercise is carried out by the JRC on a regular basis and it represents the most comprehensive inventory of Smart Grid projects in Europe.
It brings together inputs and feedback from utilities, industry, research and academia. Our thanks go particularly to all the stakeholders of the Smart Grid Task Force, the European Electricity Grid Initiative and the Florence Regulatory Forum for Electricity who contributed to this mapping effort.
We are continuing to collect new projects and monitor the progress of projects in the catalogue. Feedback and additional projects are welcome: please follow this link. The map below reports the geographical distribution of research, development and demonstration projects in Europe, along with their implementation sites. Projects are listed in alphabetical order.
