The NextEnergy Platform
Inversion, integration, and innovation are shaping the emerging next level energy structures
The platform
- NextEnergy, initiated by the Austrian Chapter of the World Energy Council, explores emerging concepts and practices related to energy.
- NextEnergy is not prescriptive but offers new perspectives about energy triggered by a deepened understanding of energy systems.
- NextEnergy invites contributions to the website’s content and comments viaplatform@wec-nextenergy.org
The 3i-intentions for transformation
They serve as enabler for transforming the energy system.
- Inversion of focus
by considering energy services as the ultimate purpose. - Integration of sectors
by developing business models beyond current sector limits. - Innovation for synergies
by investigating radical changes along the energy value chain.
The 3s-scopes for strategies
They describe the range of transformative actions.
- Singular strategies
consider isolated actions in the supply and use of energy. - Systemic strategies
search for transformative changes along the energy value chain. - Structural strategies
connect energy with the management of materials in a circular economy.
