Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are emerging as key enablers of clean, decentralised, and resilient energy systems across Europe. More than 100 PED pilots have demonstrated strong technical viability and growing business potential, yet scaling them into mainstream urban practice remains a challenge.
Building on the discussions and outcomes of the DUT PED Conference “Positive Energy Futures: From Local PED Pilots to European Practice”, this Urban Lunch Talk asks the crucial question:
How do we move from pilots to large-scale implementation?
Join the webinar to hear from our panel of experts as they reflect on key lessons from PED pilots and discuss the road ahead.
