Pilot 8 partners met on 27 and 28 August in Val d’Anniviers. This meeting brought together key stakeholders to present the Swiss pilot project and define the role of local partners in its pilot phase.
On 27 August, participants included the Energy Director of the St-Luc/Chandolin ski lifts (also an owner of hotels and restaurants in the area) and the Director of the Boutique Hôtel Chandolin. The discussions focused on outlining the benefits and expectations of their involvement, while clarifying how their contributions will shape the project’s local pilot.
The following day, 28 August, the team met directly with stakeholders on-site to identify challenges, co-design potential solutions, and prepare for the upcoming CLEMAP deployment.
This session also addressed the crucial topic of social acceptance, gathering insights into partners’ needs and setting the groundwork for future meetings to build a robust case study.
Holding the sessions in Val d’Anniviers was particularly significant: the region itself will act as a “living lab”, positioning it as a hub for innovation, sustainability, and technological progress.
For local partners, participation brought tangible benefits:
- Visibility as contributors to a pioneering sustainable energy initiative
- Access to insights and results from the project
- Recognition as forward-thinking leaders in the energy transition
