Citizen participation is key to developing scenarios for decarbonising the energy system in Europe. Different social aspirations, environmental concerns, regulations and price structures can influence PEDs (Positive Energy Districts). The PERSIST project will shed light on how socio-economic, socio-cultural and socio-political factors shape PEDs and how they interact with technological, regulatory and investment contexts. The project makes use of the Urban Living Labs network and identifies the most relevant participation archetypes for an optimised, flexible and participatory energy system.
