Overview of regulatory sandboxes worldwide
Regulatory sandboxes are policy instruments that create the appropriate legal framework so that innovators can test new products, services and processes under real conditions that would otherwise not have been possible under the current regulation. Such a regulatory experiment should take place in a temporally and / or physically delimited space and pursue the goal of developing technical and / or service solutions to accelerate the energy transition. The figure shows the status of the implementation of regulatory experimenting in countries worldwide.

Smart home services
Smart homes can deliver a range of services and benefits to households, such as energy management (energy efficiency), demand response (contribute to regulating energy demand), electricity generation, storage and delivery to the grid, comfort, security, entertainment, household management (planning, internet shopping), specialized services (wellness or health management) and assisted living.
