Europe inventories smart grid projects with interactive map

1

The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) provides an easy-to-use smart grid project inventory in the form of an interactive map, intended to make it easier to track and share research project results.

All it takes is a couple of clicks on the map, which shows more than 200 project locations coded by type of project. The information provided includes a brief summary of project details as well as project start and end dates.

"The implementation of smart grids is a significant opportunity for European industry to research, to market and to export new technologies, to create new jobs and maintain global technological leadership. We are only at the beginning of the transition to smart grids, and at this stage, sharing the results of research projects can help increase the stock of knowledge and add impetus to innovation in this field," a European Commission official was quoted as saying in an earlier press release.
