EN 2   EN Projects on ICT for Energy Efficien cy and on Energy Efficient ICTs 
The Commission funded a few proj ects in ICT for energy efficien cy in the second part of 6th 
Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP6). In 2007, ICT 
for Energy Efficiency  was introduced as a sp ecific theme under the IC T priority of the 7th 
Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7).  
Research focuses on solutions for the electricity gr id (smart grid), buildings and transport, and 
R&D on solid-state lighting. Furthermore, th e same themes were introduced into the 
Competitiveness and Innovation Programme to comp lement the research activities with pilot 
projects. The Commission al so provides funding to energy-efficient ICTs.  
The following list includes relevant examples from each area.
