• Towards Sustainable Energy Communities: A Case Study of Two Swedish Pilot Projects

  Energy communities (Energigemenskaper) offer a promising solution to address today’s energy challenges. This project, in collaboration with RISE and other eight partners, comprehensively explores energy communities within technical, environmental, economic and social contexts. Two pilot districts are studied, showcasing new construction buildings in Örebro and existing buildings in Stockholm. The project aims to develop guidelines involving new technologies, services, business models, and policies, with the objective to reduce power peak demand and increase energy savings. This project locates Sweden as an innovative energy leader by promoting collaborative social transformation and leading local communities to pursue common goals such as reducing energy costs and achieving self-sufficiency.
