The Swedish Energy Agency, (Energimyndigheten), has approved funding for ENERBridge, a multi-partner project aimed at developing practical methods to scale energy communities and support housing associations (BRF:er) in adopting digital energy solutions. The project is coordinated by ElectriCITY Innovation with contributions from KTH, RISE, Energigemenskapen i Hammarby Sjöstad and several industry actors including Ellevio, Stockholm Exergi and ProptechOS.
ENERBridge will investigate three main areas:
- Scalable models for energy communities – identifying processes, data requirements and governance structures.
- Onboarding of digital building solutions – testing methods to reduce integration time and improve interoperability for technologies such as heat pumps and HVAC control systems.
- Evaluation of AI and automation – assessing potential performance gains, operational efficiencies and new value streams linked to energy flexibility.
ProptechOS joins the project as an industry partner. The company’s contribution will focus on providing access to standardized building data and insights from existing deployments in Hammarby Sjöstad. The objective is to support the project’s evaluation of how shared data models and automation can simplify integration, support performance optimization and enable participation in emerging flexibility markets.
“Reliable and interoperable building data is a prerequisite for scaling energy optimisation across property portfolios. ENERBridge gives us a structured way to test where the biggest value can be realised and what methods work in practice,” says Erik Wallin, Chief Ecosystem Officer at ProptechOS.
The project runs from 2025 to 2028 and includes both research activities and demonstration environments. Results will be shared with participating partners and relevant stakeholders in the property and energy sectors.
