Description
The POCITYF project promotes energy transition by developing and testing innovative solutions for sustainable urban energy infrastructures. It focuses mainly on integrating renewable energy sources, smart grids and energy-efficient technologies in cities. In addition, creating pilot projects in several 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 creation of the POCITYF project. In implementation, our role thus focuses on overseeing the implementation in line with the strategic development of the project in Lighthouse City Alkmaar. New Energy Coalition also coordinates the implementation of the building-related innovations and also has a leading role in the implementation of some innovative citizen participation concepts in close cooperation with the municipality of Alkmaar, Inholland University of Applied Sciences and housing corporations Woonwaard and Van Alckmaer.
