Guidelines for the Integrated and Context-Sensitive Development of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs)
Scope:
This CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) provides non-prescriptive, process-oriented guidance for the integrated and context-sensitive development of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). It supports PED Development Readiness in real urban contexts by helping users to structure, document, interpret and adapt the main phases of a PED development process.
For the purposes of this CWA, the integrated component of the guidance is operationalised as a Development Readiness Integration Workflow. This workflow provides the overarching process logic through which PED development may be structured across scoping, context analysis, objective setting, scenario development, screening, governance reflection, implementation readiness, monitoring and adaptive learning.
The context-sensitive component of the guidance is operationalised through a set of context-sensitive guidance elements developed in Clauses 6 to 11. These elements support users in adapting the Development Readiness Integration Workflow to local technical, spatial, institutional, regulatory, social, governance and equity conditions. They are intended to help users take account of data availability, stakeholder configurations, territorial constraints, policy frameworks, implementation capacities and local vulnerabilities when developing PED pathways.
The CWA is based on the practical experiences, findings and lessons learned from the Citizens4PED project. In this document, Development Readiness refers to the capacity of a local context to meaningfully progress through PED development phases by clarifying decision-making conditions, data availability, stakeholder roles, governance arrangements, scenario assumptions and implementation constraints.
This CWA is intended to be used by municipalities, local authorities, urban planners, researchers, consultants, utilities, distribution system operators (DSOs), developers, governance actors and other stakeholders engaged in PED co-design, planning, implementation, monitoring or replication. It is particularly relevant for complex, data-poor, institutionally fragmented or under-resourced urban settings, where PED development requires coordination across technical, spatial, institutional and social domains.
This CWA covers the procedural and organisational aspects that support PED Development Readiness. These include, in particular:
- the structuring of an integrated, PED-oriented urban development process, connecting energy planning, spatial planning, governance, stakeholder engagement, implementation readiness and monitoring;
- support for aligning PED development processes with climate-neutrality ambitions, through scenario exploration, carbon-related screening, complementary indicators and transparent documentation of assumptions, without establishing compliance criteria or mandatory performance thresholds;
- the structuring of cooperation between technological, spatial, institutional and social domains involved in PED development;
- the definition of a flexible Development Readiness workflow, including process phases, inputs, outputs, decision checkpoints and assumption management;
- the identification of contextual information needs, data quality considerations, proxy use, stakeholder and asset mapping, and territorial and institutional readiness conditions;
- the exploration and documentation of alternative PED scenarios, including the clarification of assumptions, boundaries, data limitations and context-specific constraints;
- the use of screening metrics and decision-support criteria, including the Carbon Neutrality Check (CNC) and complementary economic, resilience-related, governance and equity considerations, as inputs to collective interpretation rather than as compliance criteria;
- the integration of governance, participation and equity considerations into PED development processes, including attention to formal and informal stakeholders, vulnerable groups, distributional effects and decision transparency;
- the preparation of implementation-oriented action planning, including policy–technology coherence, administrative capacity, roles and responsibilities, risks, quick wins, and adaptive replication or scaling considerations;
- the establishment of monitoring, learning and adaptation mechanisms that support the revision of assumptions, feedback loops and continuous improvement over time.
Where appropriate and where sufficiently developed during the Workshop process, the CWA is complemented by illustrative supporting materials, such as examples, schematic representations, documentation prompts, case-based descriptions or non-binding guidance elements derived from Citizens4PED experience. Such materials are intended to support interpretation and application of the guidance and do not constitute mandatory tools, formats or requirements. Illustrative case annexes based on the Citizens4PED Living Labs are provided in Annex B.
This CWA is not intended to be used as a prescriptive standard, regulatory benchmark or certification scheme for PED performance. It does not define mandatory energy performance thresholds, minimum energy standards, compliance criteria, contractual obligations or binding requirements for PED planning, design, implementation or monitoring.
This CWA does not replace local planning regulations, technical norms, legal procedures, energy regulations, building codes, procurement rules or other applicable national, regional or local requirements. It also does not provide detailed technical design specifications for energy systems, buildings, infrastructures or digital platforms.
This CWA does not establish a fixed PED model, a universal PED definition, or a location-screening methodology for selecting suitable areas. Instead, it supports flexible and informed decision-making by helping users structure, document and interpret the enabling conditions, assumptions, constraints and choices that shape PED development in specific local contexts.
All references to standards, assessment schemes, tools, labels, projects or external guidance documents are informative. They are provided to support orientation and interoperability with existing knowledge and practice, without creating normative dependencies or obligations.

Distributed energy resources connection with the grid - Part 101: Gravity storage connection to the grid
Scope:
IEC TR 62786-101:2026 provides the principles and general technical characteristics of gravity energy storage systems (GESS) connected to the distribution network. It provides a reference for the planning, design, grid connection and operation of GESS. It includes an introduction to GESS, grid-connection methods, grid-connected characteristics, grid-connected operation and grid-connected testing and so on.
GESS can use liquid or solid mediums for storing or releasing energy. For example, traditional pumped storage utilizes liquid water to achieve energy storing or releasing. This document only focuses on the solid GESS, which utilize solid materials (such as concrete, slag, construction waste, etc.) for energy storage. Generally, GESS can be classified as vertical GESS and slope GESS. In the GESS, the motor-generators (MG) that are directly connected, or indirectly connected to the low voltage (LV) or medium voltage (MV) distribution network through converters, transfer the energy between the mass blocks and the grid. This document reports the grid-connection method, active power response characteristic, response of active power to frequency, response of reactive power to voltage and test of direct grid connection through synchronous motor-generator (SMG), as a supplement to IEC TS 62786-1:2023.
This document describes the interface arrangement for the connection of GESS to distribution networks with the nominal frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

- road lighting installations (ref. CEN/TR 13201-1, EN 13201 series);
- lighting installations for outdoor sports fields and areas (ref. EN 12193);
- monument and architectural lighting installations;
- lighting installations for the outdoor areas of residential buildings;
- lighting installations for the outdoor areas of parks and gardens.
This document also considers luminous signs and luminous advertising installations in outdoor areas and the light emission from illuminated environments covered by translucent surfaces.
With the exception of lighting installations within premises located and designed for observation from exterior observers light emitted from windows, skylights and shop windows are excluded.
The calculation methods described are intended as an integral part of the lighting design and are suitable for evaluating consistency with any regulatory conditions.
Due to the complexity of the phenomena and the numerous variables, this document does not consider the influence of atmospheric conditions in evaluating obtrusive light.
This document does not apply to lighting installations for tunnels and underpasses and to all signalling devices such as traffic lights, active road signs and the like, or to vehicle headlamps.
This document additionally considers the spectral composition of the light concerned, as well as the room brightening at building openings not intentionally lit in the above application areas and any glare effects from these.
