PED Readiness Assessment Methodology, Calculation Sheet and Action Plan for testing the PED Readiness Assessment

This deliverable presents the Positive Energy District (PED) Readiness Assessment framework, along with a dedicated calculation tool and an action plan for testing its implementation. The PED Readiness Assessment (PED RA) methodology provides a concise, high-level approach to evaluate how prepared a district is to achieve net-positive energy performance. It is a strategic instrument designed to align diverse stakeholders – from the public sector and city planners to industry leaders and technical developers – around the planning, deployment, and scaling of PED projects. By establishing a common framework and language for assessment, the PED RA helps ensure all parties work toward shared goals in developing sustainable, energy-positive communities. The report was published in December 2025.
