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.

PED-EU-NET is an open, interdisciplinary and growing network welcoming academics, practitioners and relevant stakeholders to contribute to the activities of the work plan.

COST

COST is an EU funding programme that enables researchers to set up their interdisciplinary research networks in Europe and beyond. We provide funds for organising conferences, meetings, training schools, short scientific exchanges or other networking activities in a wide range of scientific topics. By creating open spaces where people and ideas can grow, we unlock the full potential of science.

PED-EU-NET

The COST Action Positive Energy Districts European Network (PED-EU-NET) aims to mobilise researchers and other relevant stakeholders across different domains and sectors to drive the deployment of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) in Europe through open sharing of knowledge, exchange of ideas, pooling of resources, experimentation of new methods and co-creation of novel solutions.
