Abstract

The IPCC reports of the last few years indicate upcoming and already on-going effects of climate change (IPCC, 2021). Positive energy districts (PED) are focussed on lowering these greenhouse gas emissions through turning urban districts into renewable based energy positive areas, changing energy production, efficiency and flexibility. This research will analyse how different mixes of policy instruments should develop a PED. The policy instruments analysed were categorised within three different policy phases, formation, adoption and implementation. The policy instruments used in the different policy phases will be analysed with theory and through a questionnaire conducted with different PED projects. Both theory and practice agreed upon the importance of nodality and organisational policy instruments within the formation and adoption phase. However, within the implementation phase the instruments were highly explorative and still searching for a best way to deliver. Future implementations were presented but did not feel truly understood; theory might be further than practice within the implementation phase. Furthermore the political context of the different cases influenced the power of the local governments. Future research could be able to find which mixes of instruments are best suited within the implementation phase.
