short description

The project 'Smart Grid: profit for everyone' develops and tests a range of new, scalable and user-supported services around electricity networks of the future. The tests take place in two medium-sized smart grids of one hundred households each in Amersfoort and Utrecht. The starting point is residents. The tests take place in existing neighborhoods with intensive resident participation. The goal is co-creation of services that really matter to residents.
