Sustainable energy investments in cities and regions
ManagEnergy Annual Conference

Draft conference programme

The ManagEnergy Annual Conference, traditionally among the most popular events of the EUSEW, is aimed at a broad spectrum of energy actors, from local and regional authorities, to energy agencies, policy makers, regional representatives, energy consultants and anyone interested in energy efficiency and renewable energy actions in local communities!

Now in its twelfth year, the conference will host an impressive range of speakers from EU institutions, as well as from public authorities and energy agencies across Europe. This year’s conference will focus on sustainable energy investments, with sessions and speeches devoted to:

• EU policy developments in the fields of sustainable energy and regional development
• The Covenant of Mayors initiative as a political instrument for sustainable energy actions
• Specific examples of European cities on the implementation of Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP)
• EU investment, financing and funding instruments (e.g., EEEF, ELENA, MLEI)
• The recently launched Smart Cities and Communities Initiative
• Technical support tools and services provided by ManagEnergy

Special attention will be given to the winner and runners up of the 2012 ManagEnergy Local Energy Action Award, whose outstanding projects will be highlighted during the conference.
