The city of Kladno realizes the mutual understanding is a key factor to exploit potential cooperation with relevant stakeholders in and out of the city. Positive Energy District, so called PED, might seem like a logical and understandable concept. However, for citizens or some partners who are not involved in new modern approaches in the energy sector it is necessary to explain, in a short and structured way, what it is about. Thus, Czech Technical University (CTU UCEEB) and the city of Kladno prepared a short leaflet demonstrating the purpose and potential benefits of the PED.

The effort of the city is to choose 1 or 2 districts which would not be suitable only from an energy perspective, but have to offer quality place for living and for enjoying some free time to its citizens. In the same time, the district/s have to be in line with urban concept, not island solution, while being able to provide some services for citizens or opportunities for entrepreneurship.

Currently, Kladno City and CTU UCEEB are in analysis phase (energy, socio-economic, urban, technological perspective) and negotiations with the relevant stakeholders (such as developers, distributors, engineers, spatial planners) have started.
