Kick-off of the Aurora project

December 1, 2021

On December 1, we launched the AURORA (Achieving a new European Energy Awareness) project, funded by the recognized EU Horizon 2020 programme. The Aurora project is an innovation action that will bring photovoltaics closer to the citizens. We will install solar power plants with a total capacity of 1 megawatt at five locations in the EU, in Denmark, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and the United Kingdom. Solar power plants will be crowd-funded by citizens, thus reducing their carbon footprint. With the developed app, the participants will follow their carbon footprint and, with the help of the project, reduce it as much as possible in order to become “near zero-emission citizens”.

The first project meeting will be held on December 14 by the coordinator, the Polytechnic University of Madrid.
