EN | For every interested Loenen residents, not just the more than 80 participants who already visited our workshops, we organize a kick-off meeting on Monday 2 December and Tuesday 10 December 2019. During this evening (from 7.30 p.m. to 9 p.m.) the project will be explained again. Everyone who then definitively registers as a participant will receive a so-called EARN-E for free. That is a smart device (value 30 euros) with app that gives you a simple insight into your electricity consumption and the idea behind the virtual power plant! Our goal is to recruit at least 100 participants in Loenen, so hear it and continue! In September we informed you in the newsletter about the progress of the virtual power plant, also known as cVPP. The tender for the Energy Management System, the heart of the plant, was still ongoing.
