Examples of activities to be undertaken in order to achieve the specific objective include (action by Programme Agreement 4.3.1):

• The implementation of intelligent energy distribution systems (smart grids), also in relation to pilot projects of smart grid communities;
• The introduction of devices equipped with digital communication systems for the intelligent measurement, control and monitoring of networks within “cities" and peri-urban areas;

The output indicator “Number of additional energy users connected to intelligent networks" guarantees the possibility of carrying out a quality check on the effectiveness of the measures adopted: the implementation of the networks must be associated with the connection of end users to intelligent distribution systems.

The types of beneficiaries are: Apulia Region, electricity transport and distribution companies, Public Administrations.
