DR-RISE: Residential innovation for a sustainable energy system

Direct benefits for participating companies:

• Advanced technical solutions: Development of an architecture based on intelligent nodes, AI and IoT, capable of managing consumption, distributed generation, electric mobility and real-time energy pricing.
• Privacy and security guaranteed: Application of sound design principles in cybersecurity, data governance and interoperability, ensuring a reliable framework for scaling solutions to the market.
• Adoption and market potential:User-centric methodologies and co-creation activities ensure consumer acceptance of services, including vulnerable collectives, opening the door to diversified and sustainable demand.
• Real demonstration environments: Pilots in three EU countries - energy communities, smart villages, urban buildings and vulnerable households - will validate business models, generate evidence and scale solutions with European backing.

The project is designed to become a living laboratory for energy innovation, where companies can:

• Test and validate technologies in a real, European environment.
• Develop new business models around smart demand.
• Position themselves strategically in the energy transition and flexibility management market.
• To be part of a collaborative ecosystem together with technology leaders, public administrations and energy communities.

CTIC leads one of the three pilots of the project in Peón (Villaviciosa- Asturias), a rural energy community that integrates housing, a school and an office building, operating as a living lab. In addition, it brings its expertise in AI, IoT, interoperability and data management to support the development of the different solutions of the project.

DR-RISE is a strategic opportunity for companies that want to lead the transition to a more sustainable, digital and consumer-centric energy system.
