The project is being conducted as part of the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme; priority 3.3 Societal challenges / Secure, clean and efficient energy.

The programme’s goal is to develop innovative Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and new business models. As a project partner, OPI PIB is responsible for a set of tasks related to social factors. This work will be performed by the Laboratory of Interactive Technologies at OPI PIB. The project involves a series of population studies on attitudes and habits related to electricity consumption. Experts will develop methods to incentivise end users to use newly designed solutions, test interface prototypes, and advance methods that increase energy awareness among consumers. 

The subsidy for OPI PIB amounts to EUR 608,500 (100%).

The project is a continuation of the e-balance project implemented as part of the FP7 programme (2013-2017), in which OPI PIB was a partner.

The project is financed by Horizon 2020 – the European Union framework programme for research and innovation under grant agreement no. 864283.
