Where is E-Energy at home?
With the aim of making the energy economy more efficient and secure by way of information and communication technology the BMWi already held the E-Energy technology competition in 2007. From this competition six different model projects were declared winners. Together with their respective partners six energy providers are developing an "Internet of Energy" in their regions. Through this production, distribution and consumption of electricity will be intelligently regulated and controlled.
The winners
Owing to its particular innovative and economic-political significance the Federal Chancellor Dr Angela Merkel declared the project to be the national lighthouse project at the IT summit 2008. The six winners of the E-Energy competition are:
