SMARCTIC

'Smart energy management in remote Northern, Peripheral and Arctic regions' project aims to increase the use of energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions in housing and public infrastructures in remote, sparsely populated areas.

We are six project partners and five associated partners from Europe and Atlantic Canada that are working together to:

Provide a Smart Energy Management Model (SEMM) suitable for NPA communities.
Build & test the effectiveness of new smart energy solutions.
Increase NPA's communities innovation capacity to deliver energy solutions.
Disseminate findings outside of the partnership.

We started our journey on the 1st of July 2019 and we will be exchanging experience and learning from each other until the 30th June 2022 with a budget of €1.4 million.

SMARCTIC project partners from Lapland explain how the energy is used during the winter months

During winter, people spend more time indoors and this fact impacts the energy usage.

Winters are long, cold, and dark in Västernorrland (Sweden). How does this influence energy situation?

Discover the main renewable resources that are available in our SMARCTIC partner region.

Northern Ireland partners are working towards climate change targets and setting long term goals to become a ‘Net Zero Carbon Region’ by 2045.

Find out more about the main sources of energy for light, heat and other essential public and domestic services in the region.

SMARCTIC project will promote a new innovative approach to reducing energy usage whilst increasing the uptake of renewable energy sources.

Summers impact in the energy expenditure & indoor environment, although it doesn’t deviate greatly in Derry & Strabane.

SMARCTIC aims to bring intelligent solutions by using SMART technology and visualisation tools to reduce energy usage.

How is the indoor energy usage when you don’t see the sun for 53 days?

“The main sources of heating used within public buildings and houses are oil and natural gas”

Households and local authorities look for more energy efficient heating solutions

Akureyri: at the forefront of environmental practices in Iceland

Derry City & Strabane, a region highly dependent on fossil fuels

Lapland: environmentally friendly and sustainable energy resources

Hydropower accounts for most of the electricity production in Västernorrland region

“With longer warmer days, energy consumption will be lower than the winter months”

Donegal's indoor environment in summer: fossil fuels are still required
