The InterConnect project will further expand the development and real-life testing of the CERF for energy saving applications by dedicating €2M to project partners’ activities as well as to 3^rd parties through a cascaded funding mechanism. A first generation of energy saving applications will be tested within the scope of the InterConnect project, in a contained environment in at least three EU member states in which existing InterConnect pilots are running.

Additional EU member states will be included via the cascaded funding where companies that are familiar with the topic and are already developing energy saving applications will demonstrate their solutions in seven additional geographies.

An announcement has been issued to explain the purpose and goals to be achieved in a proof of concept in demonstrators for energy applications.
