About PLATOON
PLATOON intends to digitalise the energy sector, thereby achieving higher levels of operational excellence by using disruptive technologies. The project will be validated in seven pilots, rolled out in four countries, that will be real cases of Energy Big Data: it will facilitate the technology transfer to the market by means of a tender process revolving around open calls.
It will also double down on European efforts to modernise European power grids, focussing on offering new services based on exploiting data from smart networks. It will also give consumers access to cheaper and more sustainable energy, while maximising their welfare.
