Overview

Explores citizen engagement strategies in Positive Energy Districts, highlighting their societal significance.

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate citizen engagement in the development of Positive Energy Districts through various EU-funded projects.
  • Analyzed nine EU-funded projects focused on citizen and stakeholder engagement in PED planning and design.
  • Identified five key themes related to participation and governance in PEDs.
  • Utilized contributions from a dedicated workshop at the Sustainable Places 2025 Conference.
  • Emphasized the role of partnership-based engagement models in PED development.
  • Demonstrated the significance of energy communities as governance frameworks with active citizen participation.
  • Found that inclusivity and adaptive engagement are crucial for successful and scalable PED implementation.
