Following the successful conclusion of the first phase of implementation of the Smartcity Málaga pilot project launched in 2009, the city of Malaga has become the Enel Group's testing ground for the development of smart grid distribution technologies. Smartcity Malaga is a pilot project aimed at analyzing how the current energy model can evolve towards sustainability through the implementation of technological solutions. The main goal is to offer integrated energy solutions that enable energy savings and reduce the environmental impact of CO2 emissions, in line with EU targets for 2020. These technologies will enable the testing of new equipment, operating models and consumption management systems. Research will focus on analysis of efficiency indicators, advanced grid operation, remote meter management services, cyber-security, energy-saving measures for residential and large customers as well as buildings, in addition to the integration of renewables, storage and e-mobility within the city grid.
