About
Founded in 2021, AURORA is a ngo headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark with approximately 50-200 employees specializing in Solar.
AURORA is a Horizon 2020 Innovation Action project (2021-2024+) that empowers citizens in Denmark, England, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain to make informed energy decisions and become prosumers. The project develops the AURORA Energy Tracker mobile app, enabling users to monitor their energy consumption patterns (heating, cooling, electricity, transport) and receive tailored recommendations to reduce energy demand and carbon footprint. Citizens participate as researchers and crowdfund local photovoltaic facilities through shares as low as €20, enabling community ownership of renewable energy. The project targets a reduction of 13-20% in greenhouse gas emissions linked to residential energy use and 13% from transport choices. Five demonstration sites have been established around university campuses and in economically disadvantaged regions, fostering local energy communities and citizen science engagement in climate action.
