Overview
The project investigates the relevant conditions for PEDs across Europe and identifies the most relevant participation archetypes to develop decarbonization scenarios for an optimized flexible and participative Energy System, in an Urban Living Lab (ULL) setting. PERSIT benefits from a strong network of urban living labs (or specific pilot projects of PEDs) that represent different social practices and regulatory contexts within Europe. We expect to observe different cognitive norms (e.g., social aspirations, expected conform levels, environmental concerns), different energy practices or regulation (e.g., available technology and resources, marketing practices and stakeholders, price structures).
