About the project
The “Partnership Energy Planning as a tool for realising European Sustainable Energy Communities” (PEPESEC) project will support the emergence of European sustainable energy communities through increasing the use of local community planning for the efficient supply, distribution and use of RES (Renewable Energy Sources) and conventional energy, demand-side management and associated mobility.
Over the period January 2008 to June 2010 the PEPESEC project will work to achieve this through widening the use of existing best practice energy planning methodologies (from Sweden and wider EU) and further develop these through the addition of innovative techniques to facilitate the involvement of citizens, politicians, market actors and other stakeholders whose buy-in and actions are required for effective plan delivery.
Through PEPESEC stakeholders’ needs and aspirations will be accounted for, utilising an effective and transparent vision-led approach to engagement. This vision-led approach will promote the significant economic, social and environmental benefits of developing a low-carbon economy and shaping a sustainable energy community.
Innovation is to be significant feature of the engagement process through marrying the best of LA21/Sustainable Community Strategy learning with latest tools and techniques for multi-stakeholder strategic plan development.
