Identification of regulations and barriers for interoperable Positive Energy Districts

The deliverable will present the investigation of factors, based on the PESTLE framework, that enable or hinder the transformation of energy districts into PEDs. The report will provide insights to the existing knowledge of PEDs, a list of their emerging requirements and a list of the identification of potential limiting factors to the development of PEDs. The report will follow the outcomes of Task 1.2. Its outcomes will be used internally by the task leaders of WP1-5 and externally by interested third parties such as standards, regulatory and goverment entitites, policy makers, energy utility companies, urban planning projects and financial and investing institutions.
