Energyefficiency

Energyflexibility

Energyproduction

Guiding principles:• Quality of life• Inclusiveness with special focus on affordability

and prevention of energy poverty• Sustainability• Resilience and security of energy supply

Enablers:• Political vision and governance framework• Active involvement of problem owners and

citizens• Integration of energy and urban planning• ICT and data management

Functions of PED/PENs in the regional energy system

Target:Optimisation of the three functions of PEDs (energy efficiency, energy flexibility and energy production) towards climate neutrality and energy surplus by taking into account the guiding principles
