Fecha de publicación: 6 agosto 2025 | Idioma del informe EN
As Europe’s cities take centre stage in the transition toward climate neutrality and sustainable competitiveness, Technopolis Group is playing a critical role in supporting urban consortia and local governments in designing and delivering impactful energy transitions.
In the framework of our involvement in the Smart Cities Marketplace initiative, we have developed a new solution booklet focused on Renewable Energy in Cities, designed to equip local authorities and city-led consortia with the tools and knowledge needed to scale up renewable energy deployment.
This booklet explores key questions guiding the clean energy transition in cities: What solutions are available to help cities shape effective strategies and actions for renewable energy adoption? What barriers stand in the way of large-scale renewable energy projects, and what forms of governance can help overcome them? How can costs and benefits be distributed fairly through suitable business models? And who should be involved in these processes – and at what stages?
The booklet presents a diverse set of practical, replicable renewable energy solutions from across the European Union, illustrating with com- pelling examples of systemic decarbonisation how cities are balancing energy security, sustainability, and innovation; while achieving real-world benefits with solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, bioenergy, and hybrid systems.
From modernising district heating networks and deploying rooftop solar panels to fostering citizen energy communities, the featured examples reflect a broader European commitment and offer valuable insights and inspiration for policymakers, urban planners, and practitioners committed to accelerating the clean energy transition.
