The beauty of the energy transition lies in the variety of solutions it offers. They come in all shapes and sizes, are everywhere, and involve so many different stakeholders. Whatever question you are facing when switching to renewables, someone else has answered it!
This interactive map shows inspiring examples of how individuals, communities, cooperatives, municipalities, and businesses are successfully implementing energy transition solutions. From solar rooftops to wind farms, discover how diverse and impactful the journey to sustainability can be.

Our goal is to make the wealth of knowledge about renewable energy accessible to everyone. Too often, successful case studies and toolkits are buried in dense reports, out of reach of those who need them most.
Our solutions mapping tool changes that, providing a user-friendly, searchable map that lets you find the information you need quickly and easily.
By sharing and replicating successful renewable energy projects, we can accelerate the transition to a sustainable future.
There is no wheel to reinvent; we just need to find the wheel that best fits your terrain. This tool shows what’s possible and provides actionable insights and inspiration for your own projects.
Help us grow our map by sharing your success stories and good practices!

Your contribution will help others find inspiration and practical solutions for their own projects.
The examples presented on our map are sourced from a wide range of external reports, articles, and publications available online at the time of their inclusion. We aim to capture a broad representation of energy transition solutions, ensuring a diverse array of examples involving multiple actors and delivering a range of features. We classify these projects according to several keywords that align with our four main categories (Technology, Site, Actor, Key Features), for a comprehensive and nuanced representation of the energy transition landscape.
We recognise that no project is perfect and that the energy transition encompasses more than just technological solutions. For instance, while we support the need to rethink urban planning and reduce car dependency, we still include examples such as solar panels over car parks. This is not an endorsement of a car-centric society but a pragmatic recognition of current realities.
Our aim is to maintain the accuracy and relevance of the information presented. We encourage users to contact project owners directly for further details, using the links provided on the map. We also invite users to send us updates or corrections on specific projects to ensure the information remains current and reliable.
It is important to note that these projects may not excel in all areas and may not be the best solutions from all perspectives. Implementing renewable energy solutions requires careful consideration of many factors to achieve overall success.
Our review process ensures that the examples presented are satisfactory in several respects, with particular emphasis on their outstanding features. We recognise the complexity of the energy transition and aim to provide a balanced and informative resource for our users.
Finally, this is not intended to be an exhaustive overview of all local renewable energy applications. We will keep it updated and welcome your input and suggestions.
