ACCEPT is an innovation project, which aims to deliver a digital toolbox that energy communities can use to: (i) offer innovative and desired digital services, complementing their existing non-digital services to their members and customers, and (ii) gain access to revenue streams that can financially support their operations and ensure longevity and well-functioning of the community itself.

To achieve this aim, the ACCEPT consortium is framing the citizen engagement and business modelling activities in the same priority as the technical development ones. Their intertwined implementation will be the critical success factor for the delivery of the ACCEPT solution as a minimum viable product that has already passed preliminary market testing and financial viability checks.
