This workshop brought in Gerard MacDonald from Reshape Strategies and Jenny McMinn from Urban Equation who have been involved in a number of distributed energy projects. Their focus has been on the district energy field and they provide information on the players and structures and roles of each of the various players in a number of projects they have been involved in implementing. Case studies of specific project are also provided. While the case studies focused on district energy projects the processes and business models are transferable to other types of distributed energy projects.
