D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | |
D1P008: Description of project objectives/concepts | Rising energy prices are impacting households’ energy bills, and citizens increasingly want to contribute to the renewable energy transition. The solution may lie in more integrated energy planning. To better address problems such as lack of organisation and information within the energy system, the COPPER project is working with citizens from local energy communities (ECs) in Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway. The project aims to harness the potential of citizen involvement in energy planning to create people-centred Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). By facilitating energy information among citizens and modelling energy systems, experts plan to develop and scale up best practices for engaging citizens in energy planning across Europe. |
