Policy Brief: Strategies for Policy Coherence and Sustainability Part 2: Sustainability guidance for prosumers and policymakers

This document represents Part 2 of the Deliverable D3.2 “Strategies for Policy Coherence and Sustainability” and discusses sustainability related issues of prosumer projects. It contains a Policy Brief followed by a report which provides supporting background information.

The overall objective of this policy brief and report on background information is to provide guidance in terms of how to make prosumer projects truly sustainable across all three sustainability dimensions, i.e. considering the environmental, social and economic perspectives. It does so by identifying and discussing the main sustainability issues facing prosumers within the three sustainability dimensions, and by providing concrete guidelines for a) prosumer initiatives (including both individual and collective prosumers) and b) policymakers.
