Energy-side partner and demonstration site for HORIZON-CL4-2027-04-DATA-09 (and DATA-03)

Co-founder at Epon Edge

Brussels, Belgium

About

Epon is a Belgian SME operating solar and storage assets on the day-ahead, imbalance and flexibility markets. Through EponEdge we deploy renewable-powered GPU compute at industrial sites and operate it as a grid-flexible asset.

We are looking to join a consortium for DATA-09 (IA) as a partner covering the "energy-efficient AI processing" outcome: intelligent workload scheduling, power capping and integration of on-site/off-site renewables and storage. We can also contribute an edge use case to a DATA-03 (RIA) consortium.

What we bring:

  • A working fleet control stack (TRL 6–7): carbon- and price-aware GPU job scheduling, power capping and workload preemption via a setpoint API, with DCGM/Prometheus telemetry.

  • A live demonstration site in Wallonia: solar plant with 5 MWh battery, suitable for real-world testing of renewable integration and storage dispatch with AI workloads.

  • Energy-market operations expertise (nomination, imbalance, flexibility services to DSO/TSO) to quantify energy and carbon KPIs.

Partner profiles sought:

  • Coordinators or RTOs building a DATA-09 consortium (data-centre operators, cooling/thermal innovators, backup power developers)

  • Universities/HPC centres building a DATA-03 consortium needing an edge node and energy-constrained scheduling use case

  • Data-centre or colocation operators seeking a second use-case site
