Human-Centric Energy Districts: Smart Value Generation by Building Efficiency and Energy Justice for Sustainable Living

Descripción del proyecto

Promoción de la lucha local contra el cambio climático mundial

Los distritos de energía positiva tienen como finalidad hacer frente a la injusticia y la pobreza energética generando ecosistemas locales, descentralizados e innovadores, además de empoderar a los consumidores. Con la financiación de una acción Marie Skłodowska-Curie: Redes de Formación Innovadora, el proyecto Smart-BEEjS está estudiando y apoyando a las ciudades y comunidades en su objetivo de producir más energía de la que utilizan. Este tiene en cuenta la política, la tecnología y las necesidades de la sociedad y los ciudadanos para explorar cómo realizar la transición hacia unos sistemas de producción energética locales, neutrales en emisiones de carbono y que satisfagan las necesidades de todos los consumidores de energía. El proyecto complementa el Plan Estratégico Europeo de Tecnología Energética, que tiene como objetivo establecer «cien distritos de energía positiva para 2025 (desde 2015) y que el 80 % del consumo de electricidad sea gestionado por los propios consumidores en cuatro de cada cinco hogares».

Objetivo

The EU has used the Strategic Energy Technology Plan to transfer power to consumers, by decentralising the energy eco-system by establishing “100 positive energy districts by 2025 and 80% of electricity consumption to be managed by consumers in 4 out of 5 households”. The SMART-BEEjS recognises that this requires the systemic synergy of the different stakeholders, balancing attention towards technological and policy oriented drivers, citizens and society needs, providers and technology capabilities and value generation system synergies in order to deliver the transition without leaving large parts of the population behind. Smart-BEEjS covers all angles of this eco-system, to train a generation of transformative and influential champions in policy design, techno-economic planning and business model innovation in the energy and efficiency sectors, mindful of the personal and social dimensions, as well as the nexus of interrelation between stakeholders in energy generation, efficiency and management. Five objectives have been set to develop:
• a practical tool that popularises the evidence based knowledge of the relationships between socio-economic factors and citizens’ practices, enabling citizens to become active promoters of PEDs;
• strategies that can positively influence citizens towards sustainable behaviour patterns, which will be used to advise at city/town council level;
• a methodology for systemic planning of infrastructure investments that can be recommended at city/town level in order to transition towards PEDs, by designing a systemic modelling approach combining techno-economic aspects and pathways toward the creation and sustainability of PEDs;
• an evidence-based policy and incentives pathway for tackling energy injustice and poverty, by an effective design of policy implementation at PED level;
• a user-based value generation tool that initiates user-centric business models and value proposition designs exploring PEDs, without the need for subsidies
