ElectriCITY Innovation works together with our members and partners for a more sustainable world. We conduct a number of test beds in energy, transport, circular economy and digital urban development. The goal is to become a climate-neutral district by 2030.
We have our headquarters in Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm and we call our project Hammarby Sjöstad 2.0. We act locally, but think globally. Our goal is to spread the results from our test beds and sustainability solutions to other districts and cities in Sweden and other countries.
ElectriCITY Innovation is a Swedish credit union. We actively monitor all announcements in environmental and sustainability and participate in collaborative projects with other stakeholders. Our strength is that we have leading companies, research institutes and universities as members and partners and that we work closely with the Sjöstadsföreningen’s housing associations and residents in Hammarby Sjöstad.
Model for citizen engagement
Energy
Save energy and money through energy mapping of properties, joint procurements and much more.
Transport
Includes everything from sustainable transport and zero-zone to car pools and an increased focus on electric cars.
Circular economy
How to change consumer behavior. Reuse and recycling, instead of wear and tear.
Digitization
Permeates all our projects, from digitization of energy and real estate systems to skills development.
We have developed a model for engaging residents in Sjöstan – a bottom-up perspective and a holistic view of climate issues that integrates housing with e-mobility, circular economy and urban farming. How these activities can benefit from each other when it comes to saving energy, developing more sustainable transport and making people more aware and active in environmental work.
It is also an example of how citizens and companies together can participate in climate change and make this change financially profitable for all parties.
Our way of working is a viable initiative that takes place in constant dialogue with the residents, both in our own district and in other municipalities and districts. With more participants we are able to broaden the possibilities of development and improvement by adding new ideas and innovations to the model. We see it as a tree with a branch full of shoots that give new branches, that is, new initiatives that turn into new projects.
