MASTERPIECE aims at creating a digital coordination and cooperation modular platform of services that will facilitate the creation and operation of energy communities.
The facilities given to members of the community to contribute to services and other developments will represent the distinction of the solution offered in this proposal, making it participative by design.
The methodology focuses on social innovations and participatory processes to engage stakeholders. ICT tools will support creating, managing, and replicating energy communities. A digital platform ecosystem will assist organizational, legislative, and operational activities. This includes creating ECs, incentivizing active participation, financial planning, energy literacy training, sustainable business models, and showcasing best practices. A decision-making toolkit will be tailored to the goals, behavior, financial, and regulatory conditions. MASTERPIECE aims to address fuel poverty and identify vulnerable individuals as a barrier to overcome.
