POWER IN PLACE- Driving a Just Transition

POWER IN PLACE puts social and subsidised housing at the centre of PED innovation. We are building a transdisciplinary and cross-European consortium to co-create community-led PED pilots in at least three urban contexts. These pilots will address:

✅ Energy poverty & affordability

✅ Community ownership of energy systems

✅ Spatial & infrastructural inequality

✅ Trust in public–private energy governance

Our approach combines applied social science, energy systems research, and co-design, with tools like participatory mapping, energy diaries, and design labs embedded in housing communities. The goal: to develop scalable PED models that decarbonise cities while empowering residents and strengthening social cohesion.
