✦ PROTOTYPEA pilot preview of the Synapse vision. Figures shown are illustrative.
A European Energy Community Initiative

One continent.
One living grid.

A platform that connects local energy communities to distribution and transmission grids across borders, turning Europe's patchwork of national systems into a shared, renewable, resilient network.
