The basic idea of a PED is an area of a city that produces at least as much energy during the year as it consumes. However, a PED is not an is- land, rather a well-functioning and flexible part of the wider energy system. This concept revolutionizes the conventional practice of one-directional energy delivery through a pipeline from a power plant to consumers in a city. Now the city transformed into a patchwork of producers, consumers and energy storages, all side by side and intertwined.
