During the General Assembly held in January in La Seu d’Urgell, DEDALUS partners reviewed progress across the project and discussed the next steps as the initiative moves towards its final phase. With work increasingly focused on validation and demonstration in real-life settings, the meeting marked a shift from technology development towards deployment, practical testing, and future uptake.
Across the consortium, partners confirmed the maturity of a wide range of solutions designed to make residential demand response more effective, data-driven, and relevant to real users and communities. Pilot activities are now playing a central role in assessing how these solutions perform in practice across different local contexts.
The discussions also pointed to a shared ambition across the project: to make smart energy solutions more usable, trustworthy, and better aligned with the realities of buildings, infrastructures, and user behaviour.
