ThorPark is a new science and business park on a former mining site, located in Genk.

Thorpark will be the test location for integrating independent buildings to a common ICT platform in order to make them controllable as a Local Energy Community (LEC) which can actively participate in energy markets. Next to the technical aspects also the value chain, roles, and local agreements on sharing benefits, costs, and liability will be discussed and challenged.

The main goal of this pilot for the InterConnect project is to set up a DRM system and develop smart algorithms for EV charging, based on PV production and forecasts.
