Energy sharing in the City of Antwerp

The Flemish government published in February 2021 a draft decree amending the Flemish Energy Decree, partially transposing the EU Directive 2018/2001 on renewable energy and renewable energy communities. Following its publication, the City of Antwerp wished to investigate whether and under which conditions a positive business case can be worked out for the joint production and sharing of renewable energy in various types of apartment buildings.
Together with Witteveen+Bos, Th!nk E performed a technical and financial analysis of different generic concepts for sharing of renewable energy within apartment buildings. Th!nk E worked specifically on simulating different energy sharing scenarios using advanced simulation tools, while making sure the results of the simulations are translated into clear and concrete conclusions for various stakeholders.
The result of the analysis is an advisory report (in Dutch).

Covenant of Companies for climate and energy (DG ENER)

Covenant of Companies for climate and energy (DG ENER)

The Covenant aims to be a community of companies and supporting entities who have made a pledge to reduce their fossil energy footprint.

In English common law, a ‘covenant’ is distinguished from a standard contract by the presence of a wax seal on the agreement, symbolising the elevated sincerity of the commitment of the parties to the covenant.

Our mission statement is quite simple: it is to help companies and numerous supporting entities to decarbonise their energy footprint, by guiding them to define and then implement emissions reduction goals that are manageable, attainable and aligned with their level of ambition.

ENCLUDE - Energy Citizens For Inclusive Decarbonisation

ENCLUDE is a Horizon2020 multi partner project aiming to define, contextualise and integrate the concept of energy citizenship into decision making processes.
During ENCLUDE, we will rethink and redesign engagement processes between government, business, civil society organisations and citizens for a decarbonised future for and with all.
To achieve these goals, the project benefits from the inclusive and trans-disciplinary research framework of the partners. Here, Th!nk E takes the lead in contextualising the emergence and consolidation of energy citizenship.
