E+ aims to develop, implement and demonstrate a new energy management operation and business model based on ICTs, able to increase the energy efficiency at neighbourhood level, while achieving near zero emissions neighbourhoods. The new control system (E+) will be prepared to manage and control energy sources, stationary storage devices, street lighting, electric vehicles charging infrastructure, buildings loads, etc. Both, electrical and thermal (including geothermal) energy sources and consumption are considered in E+. Two demonstration sites are committed with E+: Málaga, in the South of Spain, and Mons, in Belgium. The results and conclusions coming from the demonstration activities will provide the basis for the elaboration of recommendations for energy positive urban planning.
