- ETU (INTERREG MED)
- The Ecosystemic Transition Unit (ETU) is a multilevel governance model developed by the Interreg MED Renewable Energy community to integrate the energy transition into territorial planning, using a holistic approach. It is based on the outcomes of six modular projects that ran from 2016-2019 across the Mediterranean. The modular projects – carried out in the framework of the Interreg MED Renewable Energy project – supported rural and island municipalities to implement renewable energy projects, while identifying and finding solutions to common challenges.
- The ETU brings together governance, economic competitiveness and social innovation to revitalise rural areas and increase their resilience to climate change.
- It is based on four pillars (Energy Planning, Energy Communities, Energy Governance, Energy Facilities) and five principles (Holistic response to climate change, Territorial equity, Social innovation, Green economy, Cooperation and commitment).

- (FR) | The Ecosystemic Transition Unit (ETU) has been the main inspirational model for the project design and will be a reference for addressing key activities.
- RECinMED poses itself as an actor of this “Roadmap for islands, villages and towns across the Mediterranean to join the energy transition”, focusing on one out of the four pillars shaping the ETU, that is the social component through Energy Communities as defined by the initiative.
- This pillar gathers the tools that support community building and management, that will be analyzed, re-defined and tested during project activities.
- In particular, the ETU Handbook will be used to increase knowledge and capacity of institutional Project Partners and Associated Partners in order to perform following project activities according to the best and most recent methodologies.
- ETU Guidelines and the content of the White Paper will be assessed and discussed, while the WebGIS Platform will be used to investigate useful data in the framework of RECs.
- The synergies will be ensured by the formal signature of the ETU Manifesto by all the Project Partners and Associated Partners. In addition, the involvement in Regional Groups will be guaranteed by the Project Partners (given the existing Regional Groups, Italian, Croatian, Slovenian and Spanish Partners could join a Group).
- In this way, the relevance of the trainings and activities delivered through the Regional Groups will be mainstreamed also towards other territories that are not currently involved in a direct way.

- (FR), COMPILE (HORIZON 2020)
- The main aim of COMPILE is to show the opportunities for decarbonisation of energy supply, community building and creating environmental and socioeconomic benefits.
- The project has four main objectives:
- - Empowering Local Energy Systems (transition from a centralized system into a flexible but secure decentralized network);
- - Foster the creation of energy communities taking into account positive effects on the local economy and user acceptance considering vulnerable groups;
- - Optimal integration and control of all energy vectors, storage and electromobility options to maximize decarbonisation and energy savings;
- - Create new ways to stimulate actors in the value chain to cooperate to maximize the societal benefit, to foster the adoption of the technological solutions and enable a large-scale replication of the developed technological solutions and business models.

- (FR) | COMPILE Horizon 2020 project has been developing useful tools and platforms for decarbonisation of energy supply through the empowerment of local energy systems and communities.
- The 4 main objectives of COMPILE are in line with RECinMED contribution to the fostering of RECs through the testing of innovative solutions.
- For this reason, COMPILE deliverables and solutions will be studied and possibly integrated in the pilot actions after the necessary integration.
- The knowledge repository “CoolKit” will be used to investigate brand new research and tools regarding decentralized energy systems and energy communities.
- Moreover, 4 technical tools will be deeply investigated and taken into account for testing in the pilot sites:
- - Homerule: an energy building management application that informs users about consumption, production, stored energy that has been enhanced in COMPILE with new algorithms for interoperability.
- - GridRule: is a toolset helping actors that aim to operate, control and manage a microgrid in a way to improve its flexibility, stability and security.
- - Compilot: it allows the creation of Virtual Social Energy Communities. The results obtained in COMPILE project in terms of innovative approaches to activate more members of energy communities through various functionalities of this socio-technological platform will be assessed and upscaled. It will be of particular interest to evaluate the combination with HomeRule that informs users about consumptions and benefits to increase their activity in the energy management process.
- - Value Tool: This tool has capitalized in COMPILE the outputs derived from three other projects (INCREASE, STORY, NOBEL GRID) adding a module for energy communities as a decision support tool for consumers or communities that want to start or join the energy community. The relevance of this tool in assessing profitability and business models will inspire the testing phase in RECinMED (FR), COMPILE Horizon 2020 project has been developing useful tools and platforms for decarbonisation of energy supply through the empowerment of local energy systems and communities.
