Low Carbon Off-Grid Communities (LOGiC)
Project Summary
In a joint effort to pilot North-West Europe towards a low-carbon energy future, nine project partners have teamed up to develop a standardised model for renewables-based decentral hybrid energy systems (DHES) in the project “Low Carbon Off-Grid Communities (LOGiC)”.
LOGiC focuses on ‘energy remoteness’. An area is considered ‘energy remote’ if it is not connected to the main energy infrastructure. LOGiC addresses this problem with decentral hybrid energy systems combining different types of renewables, such as tidal, wind and solar PV with each other as well as with battery storage. As wind, solar, tidal are intermittent by nature and cannot guarantee security of supply in a single source approach, a hybrid model is used.
Such a model will enable cheaper, cleaner and more reliable electricity for local communities, while empowering them to influence their local energy mix.
Three 'energy remote' areas in NWE will act as pilot locations for DHES systems:
- Texel Island (the Netherlands)
- Orkney Islands (United Kingdom)
- Meckenbach (Germany)
The bottom-up approach and involvement of local communities in LOGiC is underscored by a ‘Community of Practice’, which has been launched to collect feedback on DHES from all stakeholders.

LOGiC presents productive use case for renewable energy at G-STIC 2018
Posted onTo reach the SDGs, we need to pay as much or even more attention to local energy communities as to the central energy system. Both parts of the system are not to be considered in competitive sense but need to be matched. In this context we define energy positive communities as: Neighbourhoods, villages, districts or even cities that are actively involved in the development of their own energy system based on renewable energy and integrated in the broader energy system. The question is not: what is the value of the electricity sold, but what is the value of an additional child educated by providing affordable electricity, what is the value of an additional patient treated in a local hospital by providing reliable electricity. It is about integrating services, services for energy, health, food, water, waste etc. What is the key success factor for energy positive communities? The key success factor for energy positive communities is bringing together two worlds: the world of the big energy infrastructures (based on the national energy plans) on one side and the world of the local energy initiatives on the other side. In the context of this debate, ARE Policy & Business Development Manager, David Lecoque presented lessons learnt from the LOGiC project to a wide audience at G-STIC on 29 November 2018. David especially highlighted the LOGiC project in Texel, which provides hybrid renewable energy to waste water management facility, while also putting into context the importance of productive use of renewable energy is less developed countries.
