Plug&Play devices and innovative energy storage systems: shared energy becomes smart and accessible to all

The energy transition is opening up new scenarios for the management of the electricity grid in which users are fast becoming increasingly smart producers. New technologies allow us to directly power the home and store with ready-to-use devices i.e., true innovative home appliances. The event explores the future of Plug&Play devices, with a focus on FlashTube (the composter that produces electricity), FlashPlan (the balcony photovoltaic) and FlashBattery (the balcony battery that covers nighttime needs), innovative solutions for self-generation and energy storage. Experts from Rimini's TECNOPOLO, Tecnopolo Bologna CNR and companies in the industry will discuss market prospects and opportunities for the energy transition. A final panel discussion will involve institutional representatives and companies to outline the role of new technologies in making solar cities a reality where energy will be accessible to all.

The following topics will be covered during the workshop

• The role of Plug&Play devices for energy decentralization
• Regulations and market opportunities
• Integration with energy communities and UVAM
• Financing opportunities and incentives for households and businesses
