Energy4All Included in the Prestigious Open PED Database!
December 10 - 2024
A Major Milestone for Energy4All
We are thrilled to announce that Energy4All has been included in the open Positive Energy District (PED) database, developed in collaboration with COST Action PED-EU-NET and supported by ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy, and Sustainable Economic Development).
The PED database is a critical resource for stakeholders looking to establish energy communities and Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). Our inclusion reinforces the importance of community-driven approaches to renewable energy.
What’s in the PED Database?
The database provides in-depth information across various aspects, including:
- Global Characteristics: Overview of energy projects’ goals and scopes.
- Technological Solutions: Advanced energy systems and infrastructure.
- Social Models: Insights into community participation and engagement.
- Integrated Urban Strategies: Holistic approaches to energy within urban environments.
- Environmental Strategies: Emphasis on sustainability and ecological impact.
- Drivers and Barriers: Key factors influencing success.
