Description and objectives

The eCREW project aims to activate and foster the inherent - and so far underutilized - strengths of community-driven collective action initiatives (CAI).

Empowering citizens and providing them with the necessary tools to produce, store and consume energy for:

Their own benefits,

The prosperity of the (local) economy

Addressing climate change is an important and indispensable step on our path towards a stable, secure, energy-efficient and climate-neutral future energy system.

The eCREW approach will substantially contribute to the uptake of CAIs, by proposing, establishing and deploying a new business model, fully in line with the objectives of the Clean Energy Package for All Europeans.

Value proposition

CREW cooperation will maximize the uptake of renewable energy and energy efficiency, jointly and individually, and is made possible by an award-winning smartphone application software system developed and field-tested in the H2020 project.

  • Engage a high number of households in CREW.
  • Trigger investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
  • Create a competitive advantage for the software provider.
  • Create a competitive advantage for the CAE
  • Remove barriers to market acceptance
