The SmartGrids Monitor is now available . It includes information from approx. 500 SmartGrids projects. Please visit: http://smartgrids.bacherenergie.net
The contents of the SmartGrids monitor has been and will be collected, sorted and evaluated by the SmartGrids ERA-Net members and in particular the Swiss Federal office of Energy within the work carried out in ERA-Net WorkPackages 3 and 4. The SmartGrids monitor environment (Web based solution development and services) is funded by BACHER ENERGY LTD.
The Smart Grids Country Snapshots have been composed together with the ‘Smart Grids Country Fact Sheets’ to a Brochure which has been published at the Smart Grids Week 2011 Conference in Linz, Austria (24.-27.05.2011).
The 2nd SmartGrids ERA-Net call was published 15 January 2011 as a collaboration between the following agencies: the Research Council of Norway, Energinet.dk, the Swiss Federal Office of Energy, the Basque Government and The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey. The Nordic Energy Research was in charge of the coordination of the call and the evaluation-procedure.
