Several hoteliers have joined forces to be able to offer their guests a network of electric vehicles in the Val d'Hérens. In addition to providing tourists with the necessary mobility, there is a desire to promote the image of a green and ecological region through the Green-Mobility concept (https://www.rts.ch/play/), which received the prize for "Best innovation in services in addition to accommodations" at the Worldwide Hospitality Awards 2016.

One objective is to integrate these hotels into the GOFlex project, so that they can take advantage of the infrastructure and best manage their consumption, production and self-consumption. Indeed as the'green' aspect is highlighted, these hotels are good test customers because a visualization of energy is a plus for them and they are interested in having this tool. In addition, charging for electric vehicles can have significant implications on energy costs (self-consumption, peak power) and ESR wants to integrate their visualization and control into the dashboard offered to customers. It is therefore also planned in this project to: - Install 5 charging stations with hotel operators and integrate the visualization and control of the charging stations into the dashboard for customers. - Provide assistance in managing car charging to minimize energy costs.

A consulting service for peak management is interesting to offer to a large liberalized client. Companies will gradually replace their vehicle fleets with electric ones, starting with those that deliver in a small area (Sion region). They will therefore be confronted with this case.
