Project Better Energy
Project Girona Domestic AI Case Study
In recent days, Project Better Energy announced its partnership with energy technology company Joulen to roll out an AI-driven energy optimisation platform. The £4.7 million initiative combines PBE’s solar expertise with Joulen’s advanced technology, helping households save over £1,100 annually and businesses cut energy costs by up to 47%.
Too good to be true? It’s not! Below, we highlight the success story of one of Joulen’s residential projects.
Launched in March 2020 in Coleraine, Northern Ireland, Project Girona provided 60 homes and businesses with clean, lower-cost energy through Smart Local Energy Systems (SLES). Participants received free installations of solar panels and battery storage systems. Joulen’s AI-driven platform, PARIS, optimised energy generation, storage, and consumption, enabling real-time decision-making similar to financial trading systems.
The initiative delivered up to 70% energy cost savings during peak periods and significantly reduced carbon emissions. Over 31,340 kWh of surplus energy was exported back to the grid, easing local infrastructure stress. Participants retained ownership of their systems after the project, ensuring ongoing benefits. Project Girona demonstrates the transformative potential of SLES in decarbonising communities and enhancing energy resilience.
