- Critical Reflection: What worked, what didn’t, and why
Who Should Submit
Practitioners & Industry Experts Companies, Startups, utilities, NGOs, technology providers, consultants
Researchers & Academics Whose work has been piloted or scaled in real environments
Policymakers & Regulators Involved in rolling out or overseeing new energy/mobility services
Early-Career Professionals With firsthand field experience
Eligibility Criteria
The following criteria are provided to distinguish a true case study from a standard research case study. Submissions should offer demonstrable real-world insights, practical lessons, and actionable recommendations.
Real-World Implementation
- Submissions must describe a live project or deployment (pilot, demonstration, or roll-out).
- Theoretical or simulation-based studies are not acceptable.
Defined Scope & Stakeholders
- The submission must clearly delineate the case boundaries, encompassing geographical scope, timeline, and scale. Key stakeholders (e.g., partners, funders, and end-users) should be explicitly identified.
Experience and Data Driven Insights
- Submissions should incorporate relevant quantitative or qualitative data (e.g., performance metrics, user surveys), accompanied by detailed information regarding data sources, collection methodologies, and any recognized limitations.
Challenges, Risks & Lessons
- Document major challenges faced and the mitigation strategies used. Share actionable lessons or recommendations for future practitioners.
- Submissions should incorporate relevant quantitative or qualitative data (e.g., performance metrics, user surveys), accompanied by detailed information regarding data sources, collection methodologies, and any recognized limitations
Reflection, Originality & Ethics
- Submissions should provide a candid and insightful reflection on failures and learning experiences
Instructions

The three main global energy concerns of providing access to modern energy, enhancing the security of the energy supply, and minimising the impact of energy systems on the climate have an impact on both national and international energy governance. To develop solutions that address the many facets of these difficulties, however, a variety of actors and stakeholders must be included due to the complexity of the energy challenges.
Cities are responsible for more than 70% of the world’s energy consumption and 40% to 50% of its greenhouse gas emissions. Managing increasing urbanisation is a challenge, and nations must deal with the effects it will have on the environment in terms of energy and climate.
Our transition to a future with lower carbon emissions depends heavily on buildings. They are our places of residence, rest, and employment; they also account for around one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 40% of the world’s energy usage.
