About the project
The Smart Islands Energy System project (SMILE) will demonstrate nine different smart energy technologies on three different islands. The end goal of the project is to foster the market introduction of these nine technologies.
The pilot Islands
The Smart Islands Energy Systems (SMILE) project will implement three large-scale pilot projects in different regions of Europe with similar topographic characteristics but different policies, challenges, regulations and energy markets. This enables the project to develop and optimize new innovations in different environments, thereby allowing optimal testing and flatten the path towards wide market introduction.
