ICE: Towards smart energy efficient solutions for isolated territories

ICE certification: Application form

Funded by the INTERREG VA France (Channel) England Programme, the Intelligent Community Energy project (ICE) aims to design, implement and promote innovative smart energy solutions for isolated territories facing issues in terms of efficiency, reliability and sustainability in the Channel area. It runs for 50 months, from June 2016 to August 2020, but aims to deliver durable impacts beyond its duration. The project designs and produces an innovative low-carbon energy system (smart grid), able to significantly reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission of the territories concerned (50% to 100% compared to a fuel-based system) and secure energy access security. It will cover the entire energy cycle from production to consumption, exploit local renewable energy sources and integrate new and existing technologies currently at different levels of readiness, in order to deliver a comprehensive innovative solution.

To validate their feasibility, these solutions will be implemented and tested on real pilot demonstration sites : Ushant island & University of East Anglia.

The present form enables English and French businesses providing smart-grid solutions for isolated territories to express their interest in the ICE project. Companies willing to be ICE certified will be asked a short series of questions in such a way that the selection committee can identify the best suited applicants.

Membership application will be effective after examination by the selection committee.

Approximately 10 minutes will be needed to fill in the form.
