UBITECH Awarded Cascading Grant from FFplus for mAIEnergy Project: A Generative AI-Based Co-Pilot Supporting Citizens in Energy Transition

UBITECH has been awarded a cascading grant from FFplus for its innovative project, mAIEnergy. This groundbreaking initiative leverages Generative AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) to empower citizens in their active participation in the energy transition. mAIEnergy aims to provide a digital assistant designed to enhance energy literacy and digital empowerment among citizens, playing a critical role in the energy transition. mAIEnergy is one of the 18 sub-projects selected for funding by the FFplus Open Call-1 for Innovation Studies, with a total budget of €4 million.

The core mission of mAIEnergy is to support digital empowerment and energy literacy of citizens in order to make energy concepts more accessible and engaging for diverse audiences. The proposed digital assistant will leverage personalization and localization to enhance understanding of renewable energy, efficiency, markets, and smart grid technologies, while guiding citizens on incentives for adopting renewables and comparing energy providers that align with sustainability goals. It will also help compare different energy providers and plans, highlighting those that align with sustainability goals.

mAIEnergy will create a Generative AI-based co-pilot that integrates a wealth of multi-modality energy data to guide citizens through the complexities of the energy transition. By using cutting-edge technologies such as AI, Generative AI, and HPC, the project aims to enhance citizens’ understanding and engagement with energy data, driving them towards more informed, sustainable energy decisions.

Thus, mAIEnergy aims to leverage AI-driven solutions to bridge the gap between complex energy systems and individuals, providing personalized insights and guidance to promote sustainable energy use and informed decision-making. This will pave the way for broader public participation in a greener, more inclusive energy future.
