Abstract: Abstract Solar electricity is one of the options as innovative approach as primary energy use. It could be deployed decentralised into the urban areas, and could alleviate the carbonised electricity demand drastically. Information and communication technologies (ICT) could be exploited to provide real time information on energy consumption in a home or a building giving the possibility to citizens to take decisions in order to save energy. In this context CoSSMic, an ICT European project, aims at fostering a higher rate of self-consumption of decentralised renewable energy production by innovative autonomic systems for management and control of power micro-grids on users behalf. The paper addresses these challenges and discusses related work dealing with the development of an ICT solution using software agents which collaborate in a neighborhood, and with the central power grid, over a peer-to-peer overlay.
