Co-learning and co-creation experiences with renewable energy prosumer Living Labs across Europe
prosumer projects rely on the participation of a number of diverse stakeholders to be effective and empowering citizens to become active contributors to the energy transition is a process subject to many different kinds of enabling and constraining conditions. Going beyond just the generation of decentralised renewable energy, collective prosumerism contributes to community building by bringing together many people from local communities and beyond. This character of prosumerism as a...

We therefore seek to address the following questions: In which member states can these business models exist and why? What are the key policy constraints and enablers for their replication in other contexts? How can policymakers enable their diffusion to disrupt or consolidate existing...

Report on local, national and EU scenarios
In order to fulfil the Objective 4 of the PROSEU project, this deliverable analyses various technical scenarios of renewable prosumer integration to determine the full potential for the uptake of such technologies. Three general scenarios were developed with three different reference years: Reference scenario: 2015, 2030, 2050 Renewables scenario: 2030, 2050 Autarky scenario: 2030, 2050 The Reference scenario ensures comparability with business as usual. The renewables scenario shows the...
