This new InEExS report focuses on facilitating the adoption of new energy service business models by engaging key stakeholders, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), public authorities, and citizen associations. Through capacity-building activities, the project aims to strengthen collaborations between Business Cases (BCs) and Replicators, ensuring effective knowledge transfer and market adoption of smart grid solutions. A core component of this effort is the Technology Experience Package (TEP), which provides a structured blueprint for replicating business models in both economic and technical contexts.
This package offers a comprehensive analysis of technology experiences within the InEExS project, assessing the interplay between business models, technological readiness, replication potential, and smart grid architecture. Through the exploration of four distinct business models, the report highlights how innovative value propositions can drive the adoption of smart grid solutions while addressing economic, regulatory, and operational considerations. The assessment of “Technology Readiness Levels” (TRLs) identifies the maturity of key smart grid technologies, providing insights into their current deployment status and the challenges associated with scalability. By mapping TRLs across different business models, critical gaps and potential areas for further development have been identified to accelerate market adoption. Additionally, the replication potential of these business models has been thoroughly analysed, evaluating the feasibility of scaling smart grid solutions across various EU regions.
By combining technological insights, business model development, and targeted capacity-building initiatives, this Technology Experience Package aims to accelerate market adoption and enable stakeholders to leverage smart grid innovations effectively. Moving forward, continuous collaboration between policymakers, industry leaders, and technology providers will be essential to overcoming barriers and unlocking the full potential of these new energy business models across Europe.
