The results of the Project have been highly appreciated by independent evaluators and European Commission representatives.

Encouraging regional cooperation between system operators in South East Europe. The project offers 9 different tools to help the Regional Coordination Center in the region to facilitate a greater penetration of Renewable Energy Sources - RES, while reducing operational costs for individual operators at both the transmission and distribution levels of electricity.

The Romanian Energy Center (CRE) played an important role in the SUCCESS Project, being the coordinator of the activities dedicated to the development of a new-generation meter concept called NORM (New-generation Open Real-time smart Meter), which integrates smart metering, Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) and information security at the highest level, based on PUF (Physical Unclonable Function) technology. The Romanian Energy Center promotes the establishment of a Digital Grid Pilot Project (DG PP) in Romania, targeting multiple users, based on SUCCESS results, enabling innovative applications and bringing added value through new services in the new Decentralized Smart Energy System.
