103 cities have been awarded the EU Mission Label for their unwavering commitment to climate neutrality. But reaching this holy grail of energy transition is easier said than done. One only needs to look at Copenhagen which had to postpone its net zero target date after realising that the original aim of 2025 was no longer feasible. The challenging nature of clean urban energy transition is pushing cities to test innovative concepts and technologies to achieve decarbonisation

BIPED will be joining the OASC booth at the Smart City Expo World Congress 2025 to showcase its Positive Energy District (PED) work in Aarhus, Denmark. The city has designated Brabrand as a testbed for PED development, bringing together a vibrant community of local energy actors, industry representatives and policymakers. This multi-stakeholder engagement is a key building block of the BIPED strategy to make the Brabrand district energy-positive. An important technical enable

BIPED (Building Intelligent Positive Energy Districts) project emerges as a pivotal initiative to bolster urban energy resilience. Funded by the EU, BIPED focuses on developing Positive Energy Districts (PEDs), which are urban areas that produce more energy than they consume annually. By integrating renewable energy sources, energy-efficient buildings, and smart grid technologies, PEDs aim to achieve climate neutrality at the district level.
