Pioneer Regions leading the way

About Pioneer Regions

ENNEREG Pioneers work hand-in-hand with Replication Regions offering ...

  • one-to-one guidance to 12 Twin Regions, as well as
  • workshops, inspiration and guidance for other regions so that
  • you can replicate Sustainable Energy good practice

The journey begins...

12 ENNEREG Pioneer RegionsIn May 2010, 12 ENNEREG “Pioneers” started on their journey to become Sustainable Energy Regions

These ENNEREG Regions, which range from islands in Greece and Portugal to the whole of Wales, are developing and implementing Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) and Projects (SEPs), exchanging experiences and lessons learned in the process.

The 12 regional partnerships in Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom are making a coordinated approach in defining visions and goals suited to the local policy context, the region’s resources and the interests of stakeholders. This will lead, among others, to the elaboration of Sustainable Energy Action Plans and the implementation of selected sustainable energy projects in each region as well as to the launch of Covenant of Mayors’ Supporting Structures.

The 12 ENNEREG Pioneers are not only working in their own regions, but are also:

  • sharing their experiences as they progress
  • providing step-by-step information on how regions can develop and implement their SEAPs and SEPs
  • identifying good practice and learning from other Pioneer Sustainable Energy Regions throughout Europe

Activities of the ENNEREG Pioneers

  • Stimulating stakeholder involvement in their regions
  • Identifying good practice and lessons learnt in their own and other pioneer regions
  • Setting regional visions and goals
  • Formulating short and long term Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs)
  • Fostering specific investments and end-use measures for Sustainable Energy Projects (SEPs)

As well as learning from their shared experience, the ENNEREG Pioneers aim to tap into the wealth of knowledge gained by other pioneer regions throughout Europe that are already developing and implementing Sustainable Energy actions.

By sharing experiences, the Pioneer Regions will inspire and guide other “Replication” regions to become a key driving force in fulfilling the EU 20-20-20 climate and energy targets.
