Description
Uppsala University is leading a long-term collaborative project, the main objective of which is to identify the measures needed to make Gotland's energy system 100% renewable.
GoSET (Gotland’s sustainable energy system transition) project in Planning focuses on the social aspects of transitioning Gotland’s energy system to 100% renewable. The project aims at developing planning-, and policy strategies that are not only technically feasible, but also socially sustainable. This is done using interviews and participatory observations where focus lies on understanding what creates acceptance, participation and equality in the transition to a renewable and efficient energy system. The ambition is that the project, in combination with the co-projects on resources and demand, will create a holistic vision of what will be a successful energy transition on Gotland.
