Affordable, reliable and efficient supply and usage of energy is a major challenge for NPA communities. The approach of the SMARCTIC project to this challenge is to focus, not on individual buildings or public infrastructure, but on the entire stock of buildings and public infrastructure within the community and to minimise overall energy usage within the geographic boundary of that community. The main output, implementing the above approach, will be an ICT-based solution, a “Smart Energy Management Model” adaptable for deployment in a typical NPA community. This solution will be adapted from existing smart city models and use ICT technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT). It will facilitate innovative energy pilots with companies and researchers; enable communication between energy stakeholders (e.g., consumers, public infrastructure owners) to build awareness, trial new solutions and change energy behaviour; collect and share energy data from multiple sources (buildings and houses, public lighting, road traffic, local weather). This will drive achievement of the project’s main result, i.e., “5 NPA regions with enhanced capacity to deliver high-quality and integrated energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions in their communities” . This will contribute to achievement of the NPAs programme result for Priority Axis 3. Transnational cooperation is key to achieve the above result due to the need to: bring the range of ICT and energy specialisms from different parts of the NPA; transfer and integrate pilots, models and user requirements to achieve a robust transboundary solution and; achieve economies of scale. The project budget is €1.4 million and the partnership contains a mix of partners from the public sector, university and business in Finland, Ireland, Sweden, UK and Iceland (with associate partners in Norway and Canada).
