Both parts of the system are not to be considered in competitive sense but need to be matched. To reach the SDGs, we need to pay as much or even more attention to local energy communities as to the central energy system.

Three 'energy remote' areas in NWE will act as pilot locations for DHES systems: Such a model will enable cheaper, cleaner and more reliable electricity for local communities, while empowering them to influence their local energy mix. As wind, solar, tidal are intermittent by nature and cannot guarantee security of supply in a single source approach, a hybrid model is used. LOGiC addresses this problem with decentral hybrid energy systems combining different types of renewables, such as tidal, wind and solar PV with each other as well as with battery storage.


An area is considered ‘energy remote’ if it is not connected to the main energy infrastructure. In a joint effort to pilot North-West Europe towards a low-carbon energy future, nine project partners have teamed up to develop a standardised model for renewables-based decentral hybrid energy systems (DHES) in the project “Low Carbon Off-Grid Communities (LOGiC)”.
