ZERO - citiZen-centric Energy gRid Optimization
Location
Elderveld is a 1970s neighbourhood in Arnhem-Zuid, originally designed for natural gas. With its predominantly single-family homes, aging population and lower-than-average incomes, this neighbourhood is particularly well suited for exploring the project’s inclusive, citizen-led energy solutions.
Urban authorities
Known as a city of creativity and energy transition, the Municipality of Arnhem leads the ZERO project, aligning it with city-wide climate goals and policy. As Main Urban Authority, Arnhem coordinates partners, engages citizens, and supports a local energy cooperative. It also ensures long-term ownership of the solution through community structures and public commitment.
