Wallonia Energy Communities (SPW)

Energy sharing Wallonia (SPW)

The project concerning energy sharing and energy communities in Wallonia aims at establishing a facilitating framework for citizens. The framework is designed:to provide effective and comprehensive assistance to project leaders in the creation of energy community and sharing activities, andto deliver accessible and multifunctional learning tools.In this project Th!nk E is engaged in providing assistance to several stakeholders through a Helpdesk. For the facilitating framework, Th!nk E is responsible for the communication aspects. The key is to provide clear information to a wide range of stakeholders. The project aims to be clear and inclusive.

BIDC

BIDC

The BIDC project seeks to contribute to the future of bipolar DC grids. It does this by helping set up a nanogrid in Energyville (Genk, Belgium) where different elements such as a battery and DC/DC charger can be tested.Tests on DC grid stability and potential hazards (such as arching) are also being conducted. In addition, BIDC project contributes to the modification and updating of  the grid code ensuring it is ready for future use of DC grids

VOBAT

VOBAT

In VOBAT, the Flemish Department Omgeving, contracted GEP, VUB, VOLTA, and Th1nk E do deliver training for installers on home batteries. The training contains 5 modules, of which 2 were produced by Th!nk E, namely “non-integrated inverter battery systems”, and “advanced battery system”. The latter includes typically either larger set-ups or less common battery technology. The training is currently available online through Volta’s e-learning platform

Citizen-led REnovATION

Support service for citizen led renovation

Th!nk E was selected to execute the contract exploring the diverse concepts and their potential for citizen led renovation, i.e. a concept where energy communities are supporting citizen in the uptake of mainly residential renovation, generally in collaboration with experts such as from one-stop shops. The tender will be executed with several European partners, and aims to deliver concepts and recommendations based on 2 pilots and a diversity of engaged communities and initiatives through a Lighthouse & Followers board.

Enable eVeryone's Engagemet in the eneRgY transitiON

Every1: Enable eVeryone's Engagemet in the eneRgY transitiON

Every1 makes a detailed and data-informed assessment to understand the needs, barriers, and readiness level of different actors such as DSOs, cities, (future) connected active consumers, energy communities or potential new entrants, and local/regional authorities in local ecosystems to use digital solutions. Based on this assessment, specific learning paths and dedicated co-created information, engagement, and bespoke capacity building material will be delivered. Targeted guidance on optimisation of ecosystem operation will be developed. Ecosystems will be provided with and engaged in communication and dissemination activities in their local language, guided and supported in developing learning paths, as well as on how to use and adapt the engagement and capacity building material for wider uptake and continued use after the project.

Antwerp

Energy sharing in the City of Antwerp

The Flemish government published in February 2021 a draft decree amending the Flemish Energy Decree, partially transposing the EU Directive 2018/2001 on renewable energy and renewable energy communities. Following its publication, the City of Antwerp wished to investigate whether and under which conditions a positive business case can be worked out for the joint production and sharing of renewable energy in various types of apartment buildings.
Together with Witteveen+Bos, Th!nk E performed a technical and financial analysis of different generic concepts for sharing of renewable energy within apartment buildings. Th!nk E worked specifically on simulating different energy sharing scenarios using advanced simulation tools, while making sure the results of the simulations are translated into clear and concrete conclusions for various stakeholders.
The result of the analysis is an advisory report (in Dutch).

Covenant of Companies for climate and energy (DG ENER)

Covenant of Companies for climate and energy (DG ENER)

The Covenant aims to be a community of companies and supporting entities who have made a pledge to reduce their fossil energy footprint.

In English common law, a ‘covenant’ is distinguished from a standard contract by the presence of a wax seal on the agreement, symbolising the elevated sincerity of the commitment of the parties to the covenant.

Our mission statement is quite simple: it is to help companies and numerous supporting entities to decarbonise their energy footprint, by guiding them to define and then implement emissions reduction goals that are manageable, attainable and aligned with their level of ambition.
