C/sells
Guiding principle
Three features of future energy grids form C/sells´s guiding principle: cellularity, participation and diversity. As fundamental principles, they constitute the guide rails for the different activities and single segments by means of which C/sells makes the energy transition possible.
Self-reliant
Cellularity
Cells constitute the basic units inside C/sells. A cell can be geographically defined like a city or a district for example as well as just a single object like an airport or an estate.
One cell assumes a wide variety of tasks and functions. The cell can involve both energy production and consumption as well as provide flexibility for the grid operation. This allows a regionalised trade.
Decentralised
Participation
C/sells wants to start a broad movement among the society. Hitherto energy supply was organised centrally and controlled by just a few actors.
C/sells wants to implement the energy transition with the active participation of all members of the public. To achieve this goal C/sells will establish demonstration projects as well as so called participation cells in which citizens will be offered incentives to participate actively.
Complete
Diversity
The C/sells movement consists of many individual cells which differ both in content-related and organizational manner.
This diversity of solutions regarding their technical, economical or organizational structure enables C/sells to meet the needs of all actors involved. There is no general all-encompassing solution. It´s rather the bulk of individual solutions that constitute a big functioning whole.
