V4Grid Project Launch: Transforming Energy with V2X Technology

Date: 21.11.2024
By: V4Grid
This V2X initiative, funded by the Interreg Central Europe program, brings together 11 partners across the energy, research, public administration, SME, and technology sectors from Slovakia, Czechia, Hungary, and Poland. The project is overseen by ZSE, which leads the effort to demonstrate all the capabilities of V2X technology in transforming energy systems.

A unique opportunity for the entire consortium
The kick-off meeting provided a platform for partners to discuss the project’s objectives, key challenges, and the various use cases for V2X solutions. It also served as a foundation for future collaborations and shared knowledge in tackling the complex problems posed by the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into the energy grid. Additionally, this launch gave all partners the opportunity to meet their colleagues in person, strengthening the collaborative spirit that will drive the project forward.​

As one of the key speakers, Viktorija Dobravec from the Interreg Central Europe Joint Secretariat and Dr. Claire Weiller, Senior Director at Fermata Energy (an associated partner and advisory board member), attended the meeting as well. Dr. Weiller provided a comprehensive overview of the V2X technology ecosystem, highlighting key use cases and the challenges the consortium will address throughout the project.​

Driving Energy Innovation in Central Europe
The V4Grid project marks a significant step in transforming energy systems across Central Europe. By integrating V2X technology into homes, buildings, and the grid, the consortium is creating more flexible, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions. This first consortium meeting served as a key moment for partners to align on goals and strategies, setting the stage for the project’s success.​

With support from the EU’s Interreg program, the project is leading the charge toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, offering innovative solutions to support the global energy transition.
