What is the PED
manifesto?
The PED manifesto, developed by our partner Wonderland, was born out of experiences researching and creating roadmaps for positive energy districts.
Through the participation processes, it became apparent that a crucial part of establishing PEDs was integrating citizens and citizen into the process, and helping them develop and initiate projects in their own way.
Society exists as part of structures that determine and allow space for courses of actions, so the energy transition requires much more than technical solutions. It requires a holistic approach.
Comprehensive
approach
How can energy communities and Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) complement and support each other? In the manifesto, we’ve highlighted a framework applicable to various concepts in the energy transition.
To accelerate progress, the manifesto emphasizes the need for a comprehensive understanding of PEDs, covering social, process, technical, governance, environmental, legal, financial, and managerial aspects.
It also underscores essential demands, including carbon pricing, public investment in sustainability, innovation in clean energy, industry transformation, and climate justice.
Immediate actions are crucial: engaging in energy projects, investing in sustainability, using green energy, promoting active mobility, collaborating with energy communities, upgrading homes and workplaces, and advocating for better policies.

- Placing a price tag on Carbon
- Ensuring public spending for public good
- Promoting Energy and zero-carbon innovation
