Report of the Readiness Levels Framework and related indicators

Being aware of the fact that Technological Readiness Levels are important but not sufficient to make innovative solutions work in real life in this deliverable D31 we propose additional readiness levels based on previous work and research eg DR BoB Innovative efforts such as the work done on the Smart Readiness Indicators will also be considered in an inventory of indicators that have been used for assessing successful peertopeer energy communities As part as Task 31 D31 will develop a conceptual elaboration of the P2P Readiness Level Framework based on 5 key Indicators 1 User readiness 2 Organisational readiness 3 Institutional readiness 4 Market and financial readiness 5 Technological and physical readiness In an interdisciplinary effort that combines the social scientific buildingrelated market and technological expertise of different consortium partners indicators will be developed for each of the 5 readiness levels Activities to enable this include the following 3 workshops1For the user and organizational readiness levels one or more dedicated workshops are organised to develop indicators for each of these levels led by partners with expertise on these issues eg DW IRIUL UNIPG2For institutional market and financial readiness workshops will be organised eg iLECO DW UIPI HE3For the more technical and physical readiness levels dedicated workshops are led by the partners with expertise on these issues eg IVE iLECO SPECTRAL UNIPG UIPIThe outcomes of the workshops together with relevant findings from WP2 will result in an elaborate P2P Readiness Level Framework It will be assessed what types of information are to be included for the P2P Readiness Level Framework Level 1 in the NRG2peers platform and in which manner in the NRG2peers database will maximize the usability of the NRG2peers Open Data Solution for policy actors project initiators project intermediaries and others involved in energy community development Moreover the framework as developed in T31 and presented in this D31 will be applied in all the NRG2peers pilot sites in D32 enabling a rating and qualification of a ecosystem for hosting an energy community in D32
