Challenging Lock-in through Urban Energy Systems (CLUES)                            

***Forthcoming CLUES Events ***

• 8 May 2012 - CLUES Energy Case Studies Conference, London, UCL

The CLUES Project will critically assess the development of decentralised energy systems in urban areas in the light of national decarbonisation and urban sustainability goals. Based upon national and international reviews, it examines the range and types of urban energy systems that are and might be installed. It further considers the issues raised by the need for such initiatives to integrate with energy systems at urban level in the UK, regional and national scales in order to deliver energy and carbon reductions to 2050 effectively.

Project start date: 1 October 2010 Duration: 24 months
