The Positive Energy Districts Transition Pathway (PED TP) aims to develop innovative solutions for planning, large-scale implementation, and replication of PEDs across Europe’s urban and peri-urban areas. By combining energy efficiency, renewable energy production, and energy flexibility at the local level, PEDs offer and contribute to affordable energy systems, affordable quality housing, and competitive, resilient and inclusive local economies for cities through energy communities, contributing to European goals such as the SET Plan and the EU Mission on Climate-neutral and Smart Cities.
About DUT Call 2023
In September 2023, the DUT Partnership introduced its second call for transnational research and innovation proposals. Backed by the European Commission and 39 funding organizations across 27 nations, the initiative allocated €80 million toward projects focusing on three core Transition Pathways: Positive Energy Districts, Circular Urban Economies, and the 15-minute City. This funding cycle is supported by the Horizon Europe framework programme through European Commission co-funding.
