INTELLIGENT is an EU-funded project aimed at overcoming the current limitations faced by energy communities in peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading. The robust P2P infrastructure developed by INTELLIGENT includes decentralised market components, secure data exchange and tools to support community trading and grid services, all to be released as open-source resources adaptable to various regulatory contexts.
The project builds on Grid Singularity’s existing open-source P2P platform (GSY DEX), expanding its capabilities with support for advanced trading mechanisms such as multi-attribute auctions, blockchain-enabled verification and dynamic pricing models. This enables effective spot and flexibility trading for small users while ensuring secure, decentralised operations.
At the user level, INTELLIGENT introduces AI/ML-based flexibility optimisation services to improve energy efficiency and participation in local markets. The system will be piloted in four diverse sites, shaped by social science and regulatory analysis, and refined based on citizen and energy service provider input.
INTELLIGENT is primarily focused on creating a standardised and open-source peer-to-peer energy sharing platform. The project aims to develop an open-source, decentralised energy trading platform to exploit the full potential of distributed energy resources (DER) by creating a grid-aware, transparent, automated P2P energy exchange for spot and flexibility marketplaces based on diverse trading mechanisms. In going so, INTELLIGENT will empower individuals in local energy markets to set preferences and maximise economic and environmental benefits.
INTELLIGENT identifies a key gap in current energy communities-related practice: while legal frameworks for energy communities exist, their implementation often falls short of true energy trading with flexibility management. Current models tend to limit participation to pre-set tariffs or fixed community roles, rather than enabling genuine peer-to-peer interaction and individual decision-making. INTELLIGENT addresses this by developing a bottom-up, asset-based market framework that allows individuals to engage on their own terms while remaining integrated with the broader energy system. By combining technical innovation with a deep commitment to user engagement, the project brings together the digital, social and regulatory dimensions of energy governance.
