The Dutch case study will combine two pilot sites in two different locations: Woerden and Badhoevedorp. The pilot in Woerden is located in the area “Schilderkwartier”, which consists of social housing, and is in fact an energy community between ZOM-houses (Zero-On-Meter), that went through a net-zero retrofitting by BAM, and non-ZOM-houses (not Zero-On-Meter). The second pilot is the new urban development “Quatrebras”, located in Badhoevedorp. For the pilot, one of the three parts of Quatrebras will be used, i.e. “Quatrebras Park”, which consists of single-family houses.
The use of multiple pilot sites has the potential to provide greater economies of scale, offer a variety in the learnings that will be achieved and allow for the development of multi-community forming strategies.
i.LECO will be a technical aggregator and Local Energy Community (LEC) provider, and as a cross-pilot overall provider will sub-contract tasks to the pilot site locations.
