PILOT SITES
The ODEON project demonstrates its innovative solutions through five large-scale showcases in Greece, Spain, Denmark, Ireland, and France. These showcases incorporate a diverse array of energy sources, networks, IoT infrastructure, systems, and assets, implemented across varying climatic, geographic, and socio-economic conditions and scales. This diversity enables easy replication, scalability, and eventual market launch post-project completion.
.
The Greek pilot site is situated in Mesogia, in the broader metropolitan area of Athens. Data from various distribution network assets and smart metering data from more than 225,000 customers will be shared. MV (Medium Voltage) customers, major and minor LV (Low Voltage customers, and RES (Renewable Energy Sources) producers participate in the pilot site.
