Project focus• Support the transition to 100% sustainable energy
communities by:• achieving significant change in public management approaches• achieving sustainable energy solutions at community level
• Work with levels of government closest to citizens:• building local government capacity, learning from experiences,
encouraging political leadership,
• Identify opportunities for change - political, administrative, economic, social
4
Motivation for action• Some challenges today:
• climate change, • rising fuel prices, • environmental degradation, • financial crises,• socio-economic pressures, ...
• Our response: • climate change mitigation and adaptation, • improving energy security, • improving management systems

Aims• Overcome non-technological barriers regarding energy
conservation, energy efficiency (EE), renewable energy (RE).
• Support sustainable energy implementation and the development of sustainable energy communities.
• Cross border cooperation - country focus: Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom.
8
Specific objectives (1)• Develop capacity to strengthen the role of local and
provincial governments as political and administrative bodies guiding communities in the sustainable energy transition, overcoming non-technological barriers and creating tangible results for sustainability.
• Create instruments that build on state-of-the-art Local Energy Action Plan (LEAP) developments to support Local Governments in decision-making for integrated energy management, climate protection actions and securing local energy supply.
9
Specific objectives (2)• Guide Local Energy Action Plan (LEAP) implementation
in selected learning communities.• Make results widely available through the European
Sustainable Cities and Towns Campaign (ESCTC).
10
LEAP Implementation- Continuous implementation and
evaluation of LEAPs through cyclic, periodical, and integrated management
- Anchored in EU Policies
- Follows structured and logic routines and integrates the variety of issues, actors, geographical areas.
- Timely response to rapid changes in environment and of information
- Political commitment as decisive democratic step in local government activities
- Community buy-in through appropriate participation in target setting, implementation, evaluation
11
Expected results (1)
• Improved capacity of 9 LGs, using:• Peer-to-peer exchanges, study visits, workshops, staff
trainee programmes
• Energy guidance package, with instruments to support LEAP implementation: • LEAP wizard in 5 languages for integrated energy action
programmes
• 30 exemplary case studies and analyses on replicable factors and cost-benefit ratios
12
Expected results (2)
• One-stop-access-point• Centralising information and instruments for SEC development,
linked to European Sustainable and Towns Campaign
• 5 LEAPs and various implementation projects • testing the wizard to assure use of tools and methodology in
different cases
• 27 Energy Weeks• Improved awareness of citizens, local politicians on sustainable
energy, roles of individuals and roles of LGs as community leaders and asset managers
13
Expected results (3)
• CO2 reduction and improved community resilience of energy-relevant infrastructure
• Widespread European dissemination of results – sharing with and learning from others
14
Strategic context & links
• European climate and energy package (achieve 20% CO2 reduction, 20% RE, 20% energy efficiency by the year 2020)
• European Sustainable Cities and Towns Campaign (ESCTC) Aalborg Charter and commitments - sustainability focus
• Sustainable Energy Europe Campaign (SEEC)
• Covenant of Mayors
• International Local Government Climate Roadmap
