GEMS

Across North-West Europe, business parks are joining forces to tackle one of today’s biggest challenges: how to digitalize our energy systems so that their precious energy is used more wisely, sustainably, and collaboratively. GEMS – short for Green Energy Management Systems in business parks – is a groundbreaking project helping these industrial hubs adopt smart, scalable energy solutions that make a real difference. 

At the heart of GEMS lies digital innovation. Through cutting-edge solutions such as Energy Management Systems (EMS) and digital twin technologies , the project empowers regional business parks, which form the backbone of the European economy, to co-invest in smart systems that manage renewable energy use more efficiently, provide stable energy pricing, and ease pressure on overloaded electricity grids. 

Spanning six pilot sites in five countries, GEMS delivers four ready-to-use EMS models that can be replicated across the region. A robust capacity-building programme ensures that knowledge doesn’t stay local but spreads, helping business parks everywhere lead the transition to a low-carbon future.
