The vision of Europe’s next generation of peer-to-peer energy communities is now taking shape. The EU-funded NRG2peers project has developed a platform to boost the next generation of energy communities and integrate more renewable energy, empowering sustainable journeys.

“ I want Europe to become the first climate-neutral continent in the world by 2050. To make this happen, we must take bold steps together. Our current goal of reducing our emissions by 40% by 2030 is not enough […]. It means change. All of us and every sector will have to contribute, […] to the way each and every one of us travels and lives. Emissions must have a price that changes our behavior. This is the European way: […] we leave nobody behind. And we offer perspectives. ” – Opening Statement in the European Parliament Plenary Session by Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission

Ursula’s speech was our inspiration for NRG2peers! We want to contribute to this change!

The main aim of NRG2peers is to support the uptake of a next generation of European peer-to-peer Energy Communities. NRG2peers sets up a gamified platform, supporting residential energy communities, to increase energy efficiency and to integrate a higher share of renewable energy. How we will do this?

We have the following five measurable objectives:

Stimulating and enabling the co-creation, strengthening and widespread implementation of the new generation of peer-to-peer energy communities the EU.
Enhancing the new peer-to-peer energy communities to be more attractive, practical, reliable, understandable and desirable by a holistic and user-centred approach.
Making the new energy communities easily accessible for minimum 10.000 residential customers and a wide range of stakeholders
Demonstrate that collectively organized peer-to-peer energy-related actions are financially viable and attractive at the community level, by testing the NRG2peers approach and evaluating outcomes of ongoing, complementary P2P / energy trading projects with the consumer members and relevant regional stakeholders of the Pilot Communities.
To foster the EU-wide uptake of peer-to-peer energy communities by motivating and activating EU interest groups and national certifying and standardization bodies


Imagine you could buy clean and renewable energy to heat and power your home, from your neighbours, using your phone, exactly the same way you order food from Deliveroo? We want to make this happen. The main aim of NRG2PEERS is therefore to support a next generation of European peer-to-peer Energy Communities.
