Beyond the Dashboard: Activating the Digital Energy Citizen

This brochure outlines the strategic vision of the ECLIPSE DIGITAL project to move European consumers from the sidelines of the energy market to the very center of a decentralized ecosystem. Central to this shift is the implementation of the Common European Reference Framework (CERF), a technical and functional blueprint designed to standardize how energy applications across the EU interact with citizens. The document details the findings of an exhaustive landscape analysis that evaluated over 50 unique energy applications, revealing a significant "Interoperability Gap" where current tools fail to support real-time grid interaction. To bridge this gap, the brochure introduces 56 co-created Use Cases clustered into six key categories aimed at transforming households into "Flexibility Heroes". By providing real-time, actionable data on costs and carbon impact, the framework fosters a resilient energy transition across 17 EU countries.
