The EEF was invited by its Associate Member EDSO for Smart Grids to visit smart grid installations in the framework of the Smart City project in Barcelona. The visit showed real-life and large-scale installations of different smart grids components. It brought further knowledge on what smart grids are, giving a holistic view of the systems and showing how they can improve the efficiency, the reliability and the sustainability of electricity production and distribution.

It included visits and discussions on topics related to energy such as: smart meters, photovoltaic and solar thermal installations, energy infrastructure, network management, heating and cooling systems, waste management issues and electric vehicle infrastructures among others.
