POCITYF

Goal

POCITYF demonstrates solutions for self-consumption and savings of renewable energy, peer-to-peer energy management, e-mobility, ICT integration, and citizen engagement that will be replicated in eight EU cities, addressing regulatory barriers and developing business models.

Description

The POCITYF project promotes the energy transition by developing and testing innovative solutions for sustainable urban energy infrastructure. It focuses primarily on integrating renewable energy sources, smart grids, and energy-efficient technologies in cities. Furthermore, creating pilot projects in various European cities provides valuable insights and scalable models for POCITYF. Finally, it accelerates the adoption of green energy and contributes to reducing CO2 emissions.

Our role

New Energy Coalition acted as initiator and developer in the development of the POCITYF project. During implementation, our role focuses on overseeing its implementation in accordance with the project's strategic development within Lighthouse City Alkmaar. New Energy Coalition also coordinates the implementation of building-related innovations and plays a leading role in the implementation of several innovative citizen participation concepts, in close collaboration with the municipality of Alkmaar, Inholland University of Applied Sciences, and housing associations Woonwaard and Van Alckmaer.
