ManagEnergy Good Practice Brochures

Every year, ManagEnergy rewards some of the most outstanding energy actions at the local and regional level with the Local Energy Action Award.

Good practice case studies are selected, through an annual call, for their strong contribution to the promotion of sustainable energy and for their high potential for replication.

So far, five brochures of ManagEnergy good practice case studies have been published. View the brochures and get inspired!
