<p>The purpose of this project is to increase resilience to climate changes in the city of Porto. This will be tackled by creating a Living Lab, with energy sector as a central core, developed around solar energy as a sustainable energy source, aiming, in a disruptive way, to create the first renewable energy community in Porto, encouraging the consumption of clean energy, promoting sustainable electric mobility and energy storage. The objective is to promote citizens and companies engagement in the creation of a new energetic, economic and social paradigm and interventions in the context of circular economy and environment.
