Welcome to OUR Toolkit for Positive Energy Districts

Welcome, PED hero! The MAKING-CITY Toolkit is your essential guide to transforming urban areas into Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). Based on the learnings from the MAKING-CITY project, a Horizon 2020 initiative (2019-2024) coordinated by the CARTIF Foundation, this toolkit serves as a starting point for initiating a PED in your city.

A PED is an urban area that produces more energy than it consumes, focusing on integrating renewable energy sources and optimizing energy efficiency for sustainable environments.

This toolkit is designed for citizens, city officials, and private sector actors interested in PEDs. It covers three key areas:

  1. The PED Concept: Understand what a PED is and how it functions.
  2. Stakeholder and Citizen Engagement: Learn how to effectively involve various stakeholders and citizens in your PED project.
  3. Business Models and Finance: Discover financial tools and business models to support your PED initiatives.
