Schoonschip was named as winner of the The smarter E AWARD 2026 in the category "Outstanding Projects" for the project "Schoonschip VPP".
In the north of Amsterdam, the Schoonschip floating community offers ecologically and socially sustainable urban living. This 46-home decentralized microgrid features solar energy, battery storage, and water-source heat pumps. Its innovative community energy management system optimizes self-consumption, leverages day-ahead pricing, and provides up to 80 kW of flexibility. Through innovation, this fully electric community uses just one-third the grid capacity of comparable homes. Schoonschip was universally praised by our jury for its elegant design, urban in-fill potential, environmental benefits, and measurable social value.
