On 2 July 2026, R2M Solution participated in the Capenergies Energy Systems Club, organised in partnership with the Société Monégasque de l’Électricité et du Gaz (SMEG) in Monaco.
Entitled “Towards Electrified Uses: Challenges Related to Control, Storage and Flexibility,” the event brought together various stakeholders from the energy sector to discuss the transformations associated with the increasing electrification of buildings and energy systems.
In light of European decarbonisation objectives, the electrification of energy uses represents an essential way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. However, its development raises several challenges related to demand management, energy storage and the ability of energy grids to adapt to changes in production and consumption.
The discussions held during the event focused in particular on the role of smart control systems, storage solutions and energy flexibility. These technologies can help optimise energy consumption, reduce peak demand and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid.
R2M Solution Presents the Smart Readiness Indicator
During the session dedicated to innovative projects and solutions, Rachel Desmaris, representing R2M Solution, presented the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI).
Developed at the European level, the SRI assesses a building’s ability to use smart technologies to improve its operation and energy performance.
The indicator considers, in particular, a building’s ability to:
- optimise its energy consumption and efficiency;
- adapt its operation to the needs and comfort of its occupants;
- interact with energy grids;
- contribute to the flexibility of the energy system.
The SRI therefore helps identify the potential of smart buildings and the role they can play in the transition towards more efficient, flexible and decarbonised energy systems.
A Day of Knowledge Sharing and Discovery
The event also provided participants with an opportunity to exchange ideas with experts and energy innovation stakeholders, discover different solutions developed in the field of electrification and share their experiences.
The day concluded with a technical visit to SeaWergie, SMEG’s seawater-based thermal energy pumping station located in Fontvieille. The facility uses thermal energy from seawater to provide heating and cooling to buildings, illustrating the potential offered by local and renewable energy resources.
R2M Solution would like to warmly thank Capenergies and SMEG Monaco for organising and hosting this valuable event, as well as all the speakers and participants for the quality of their presentations and discussions.
