PEDs can be a game-changer
Positive energy districts and neighbourhoods are an attractive approach to change the ways that energy is produced, distributed and consumed. They can become a key instrument for cities to achieve decarbonisation goals.
Effective changes to energy systems require technical and economic knowledge as well as input from the energy system stakeholders who are part of these systems. The TRANS-PED project has developed critical input for a collaborative approach for public, private, and third sector organisations to identify challenges and develop solutions to realise significant changes in urban energy systems.
