Supporting Scale-up
For successful replication of local energy systems that can make a real, material contribution to national ambitions, it is essential to understand the potential for their scalability, as well as the possible constraints that may exist. This could include, for example, absolute limits in physical resources or non-linearities in effects as scale is increased. There will also be potential trade-offs or spill-overs between effects and along supply chains that could impact scale-up.
The Supporting Scale-up theme focused on how experiences of Smart Local Energy Systems could help to ensure that scale up can be achieved wherever possible. This covers scale-up in terms of growth of a project, replication elsewhere, accumulation (where experiments are linked to other initiatives) and transformation (where an experiment leads to changes in institutions or policies).
