Abstract Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are urban areas that achieve net-zero emissions and energy imports while striving for a surplus in local renewable energy production. This paper contributes to the understanding of PEDs through a literature review that identifies their advantages and successful practices, offering insights for developing business models that promote sustainable urban growth in the EU. PEDs engage various stakeholders to create value and deliver numerous environmental, economic, and social co-benefits, including enhanced energy efficiency, integrated renewable energy solutions, improved flexibility, and advancements in e-mobility. However, many PED initiatives remain in the development phase, requiring further efforts for effective implementation. Promoting collaboration among stakeholders and establishing supportive policies and regulatory frameworks at various levels are essential steps to ensure the successful deployment of PEDs. © 2025 IEEE.
