by Rebecca Hueting – REFORMERS Communication and Dissemination manager at Deep Blue In this short blogpost we report on our partners meeting at Urban Tech Republic last October. On the 8th and 9th of October REFORMERS’ research task leaders gathered in Berlin for an extended executive board meeting. The hosting partner Stoff2, our partner developing and building electrolyzers for the production of green hydrogen, organised…
by Rebecca Hueting, Communication and Dissemination leader at Deep Blue Our core coordination team has recently participated in the Enlit conference in Milan, where the REFORMERS’ project was hosted in the New Projects Pavillion and joined two discussion panels jointly with other European Research projects. The project is also hosted on the official website Go to REFORMERS’ page on the official ENLIT website On our…
by Harm Hofman, Duurzaam Heiloo Duurzam Heiloo presents the EU Reformers project to the residents during a public event on the 9th of November in the central shopping center Centrum “Het Loo” in the village of Heiloo. Duurzam Heiloo carries out activities related with the design of more efficient strategies to deal with energy. Such activities are carried out in the context of the quadruple helix…
This short blogspot is summarizing the first General Assembly that took place on 4th and 5th of June 2024; almost all REFORMERS Partners gathered at TU Delft premises for their first consortium meeting, after the kick-off in November 2023. The meeting took place in the amazing University Theatre Hall at X – TU Delft arts and sports compound, pushing presenters to their highest performing skills….
On November 22nd, the city of Alkmaar set the stage for the inaugural Kick of Meeting of the REFORMERS project during an exciting two-day journey The first day of meeting started with a short welcome from Alkmaar’s alderman Christian C. Schouten and the opening remarks from the flagship coordinator Joep Sanderink. REFORMERS project coordinator Thierry Coosemans and the sister project CRETE VALLEY coordinator Vangelis…
For those who are not familiar with the Energy Valley concept, it can be described as a large local energy system that is decentralised and controlled by local communities, as opposed to centralised power systems. The REFORMERS project, as the CRETE financed project under the same Horizon Europe call, is a project deploying this concept while also focusing on the integration of other renewable energy…
By Shary Heuninckx, Vrjie Universiteit Brussels The European REFORMERS project aims to develop sustainable and lasting solutions to the current and future energy challenges facing Boekelermeer and its surroundings. In collaboration with local stakeholders, we will seek resilient solutions to issues such as grid congestion, energy security, and the gradual phase-out of fossil fuels. This is a complex task, as the project area involves a…
By Alex Felice, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) The REFORMERS project aims to transform Local Energy Systems (LES) into Renewable Energy Valleys (REV), where local renewable energy sources fully meet energy needs for electricity, heating, cooling, and transport on an annual basis. Achieving this requires advanced planning, and energy modelling plays a crucial role in ensuring that renewable systems can meet these goals efficiently. Energy modelling…
In an ambitious step towards sustainable energy, the project’s fifth research track REVT#5: Technology and business integration, focuses on enhancing initiatives beyond REFORMERS, offering a future outlook towards Renewable Energy Valley (REV) adoption. This track leverages local expertise and partnerships to promote the deployment of innovative solutions within and beyond the Alkmaar Flagship Valley (FV) through innovative business models and governance structures. Collaborative Efforts and…
The fourth research track REVT#4 on Innovative Energy Management, promises a revolutionary step in enhancing the efficiency of the FV’s energy management system. This initiative aims to drastically reduce energy consumption, align energy demand and supply more effectively, and increase self-sufficiency while easing the load on the congested electricity grid. As a key part of the Renewable Energy Valley Track #4, REFORMERS will implement sophisticated…
REFORMERS plans for its third research track REVT#3: serving a sustainable community, aim to increase renewable energy production and consumption across the different areas in the Alkmaar Flagship Valley. This initiative aims at transitioning from fossil fuels to greener energy sources among all types of consumers including residential, industrial, tertiary, and mobility sectors. The consortium will demostrate these solutions in the Overdie residential area, the…
In a significant stride towards sustainable energy, the second research track REVT#2: Advancing REV energy system is dedicated to piloting a comprehensive local hydrogen infrastructure at InVesta‘s center of expertise. This setup includes the pipelines, a compressor, and a docking station, all tailored to seamlessly integrate clean hydrogen production from HYNOCA with its consumption at NXT Mobility‘s hydrogen filling stations. To ensure efficiency and reliability,…

How does REFORMERS plan to increase renewables energy generation in Energy Valleys? The REFORMERS project runs part of its research in the Flagship valley in Alkmaar and plans to test and replicate preliminary and mature results within the different Satellite energy valleys for replication. The research is organised around five clusters, or “tracks”. In this article we describe the Research track #1 on how to…
In a significant stride towards the European energy transition, the REFORMERS project announces its first press release. This ambitious research initiative is set to explore and develop the potential of Renewable Energy Valleys across the Europe in a large testbed facility in Alkmaar, setting up and testing energy solutions that are both sustainable, safe and efficient. In REFORMERS, larger communities including households, services, and light industries…
by Rebecca Hueting and Fabio Lovati, Deep Blue Italy How can Renewable Energy Valleys impact our future? This is the question we aim to answer through our research activity. The implementation of a local energy system which shifts energy production from a centralised system to a decentralised system has been thoroughly studied across Europe, and today takes a significant leap forward with its latest initiative…
Thanks to the joint effort of 28 partners from 10 European countries, a large testbed facility in Boekelermeer business park will prove how “Renewable Energy Valleys” can represent the optimal energy system for small to medium industrial sites close to residential sites. In Alkmaar’s “Renewable Energy Valley,” a diverse mix of more than 300 businesses and 3,000 households is currently connected to a shared energy…
