The main goal of RE-EMPOWERED is to develop and demonstrate solutions for energy transition of island and weakly connected energy systems, based on Microgrids exploiting multiple energy vectors. The benefits will be demonstrated leading to an increased share of renewable generation and higher energy efficiency of the wider local energy system. RE-EMPOWERED will develop a complete set of solutions for local energy systems that will be demonstrated in four pilot sites, two European and two Indian, complementary in terms of size, organisational and technical maturity.
