Borzen is very much involved in the events of the Slovenian and European energy market. We believe that the integration and collaboration of different actors, along with their skills and experience, can create added value.
Listed below are some projects in which we were or still are participating.
The STREAM project
On October 1, 2022 the STREAM project started as part of the EU's research and innovation funding programme Horizon Europe. Besides Borzen, there are 20 partners from six different European countries involved in the STREAM project, whereas the leader of the consortium is the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana.
STREAM project aims to create an innovative and robust flexibility ecosystem (“STREAM Ecosystem”) on the low voltage (LV) grid side of existing power markets connecting data, technologies, stakeholders and markets, thus facilitating the flexibility provision. The key added value of the project will be the preparation of new business models linked to the flexibility (these business models are currently not fully developed). The project will demonstrate six different tools across four pilot sites (Spain, Finland, Italy and Slovenia), and will cover the geographical, economic, size and type of diversity of customers. These tools will enable the project to achieve its objective of establishing an exible ecosystem that will enable the integration of renewable energy sources into the power system while ensuring reliable and secure operation.
Borzen will participate in different sets of projects, but especially in the setting up of the STREAM ecosystem (work package WP4), where it will play a major role in examining the regulatory aspect of the relationships (end user, flexibility service/aggregator and other stakeholders) in the light of the development of (local) flexibility markets. In addition, Borzen's task will be to prepare a framework for the creation of a national register of flexibility, which will include all flexible devices within the work package WP4.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the grant agreement Nº 101075654, Horizon-CL5-2021-D3-02.
The project will last for 48 months and will end on October 1, 2026.
