MAS4TE workshop

The MAS4TE project aims to support the energy transition in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine (EMR) region by enabling citizens and local energy communities to participate in local and cross-border energy trading. As the project is in the middle of its development phase, we would like to engage with experts, operators, policy makers, and researchers, and share insights into the system we build to assure compliance with real conditions in the region

Why this workshop?

The EMR region produces a high share of renewable electricity, yet many areas face grid saturation and difficulty absorbing green power. Local battery storage (stationary or mobile) is becoming essential to balance the grid, unlock flexibility, and increase value from renewables. However, smaller players such as prosumers and local communities are still largely excluded from energy markets.

 This workshop offers an open forum to discuss:

-           How (small-scale) storage can be included in local energy markets

-           What stands in the way of using batteries to absorb excess solar and reduce grid congestion

-           How cross-border trading rules and policies can be improved

-           Which technical and economic models could work for the EMR’s cities, towns, and rural areas
