INTERACT

INTERACT helps the emergence of Energy Communities as one important building block to achieve Positive Energy Districts. The overall project goal is – based on a competence network of successful PED approaches – to enable the focus regions to introduce the first worldwide Local Energy Communities and Sector Coupling based in a holistic approach.


Based on

  • success-factors from a competence-network of existing PED/PEN approaches,
  • stakeholder needs and motivation,
  • locally availably technology and
  • a holistic system architecture

the optimal organisation and structure of a Local Energy Community will be designed. By the example of two focus regions in Sweden and Austria, a roadmap is developed, where the local energy community is embedded into the whole power system in a secure, responsive and reliable way. The resulting guidelines of the INTERACT are fed back into the PED/PEN-competence network to reach a maximal dissemination impact.
