Innovative approaches for the deployment of Positive Energy Districts

This call aims to demonstrate innovative solutions for Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) that achieve a net positive yearly energy balance and address technical and societal barriers to implementation. Proposals must validate approaches in diverse districts and develop tools and frameworks to support replicability in other cities. Stakeholder engagement is critical to ensure inclusivity and acceptance.

Opening Date: 16 September 2025
Deadline: 17 February 2026

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.

Expected Outcome

  • Increased number of approaches and solutions enabling a net positive yearly energy
    balance at district level and the export of excess renewable energy to the grid outside
    its geographical boundaries, with enhanced replicability on a larger scale in other
    PEDs in different contexts.
  • Demonstrated consideration of and adaptation to diverse societal interests and
    concerns in the demonstration PEDs, compared to the current situation.
  • Improved user-friendliness and user-awareness of guidelines, tools, and training
    materials for overcoming barriers towards the realisation of positive energy districts
    (PEDs).

Scope

  • Demonstrate innovative approaches and solutions for overcoming constraints which
    prevent the successful implementation of PEDs.
  • Develop supportive implementation frameworks for the design and realisation of
    PEDs.
  • Demonstrate the proposed approaches, solutions, and supportive implementation
    frameworks in at least three districts in diverse geographical areas that implement
    energy efficiency measures alongside renewable energy installations, storage
    solutions, digital and smart technologies, and local energy communities.
  • Develop and/or update existing guidelines, tools, and training materials for key
    professionals that will enable other cities to successfully replicate these innovative
    approaches and solutions as well as supportive implementation frameworks in their
    district/cities.
  • Ensure the active involvement of all relevant public and private stakeholders,
    including citizens, through stakeholder participation processes and community
    engagement activities that foster community support and inclusiveness.
