VERD, in collaboration with the University of Cyprus and GECO-Global energy consultant, along with the active participation of numerous partners of the SYNERGY H2020 project, conducted a review on the existence and importance of various regulatory and socio-economic obstacles, regarding innovative energy services, data exchanges & synergies and new business models promoted by SYNERGY. This research is centered around the European landscape, with a particular focus on the demonstration countries (Greece, Spain, Austria, Finland and Croatia) of the SYNERGY consortium. The document is now in the hands of the European Commission and is expected to be published on SYNERGY project’s website during the summer of 2021.
