Summary

[EN - English]

ENNEREG - Regions paving the way for a Sustainable Energy Europe is a European Project supported by the Intelligent Energy ‐ Europe programme. The project started on 1 May 2010 and runs until 30 April 2013.

The aim of the ENNEREG project has been to establish and inspire EU Regions to take up the challenges of fulfilling the EU 20-20-20 climate and energy targets of at least 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, 20% increase in energy efficiency and 20% of energy from renewables by 2020 (ec.europa.eu/climateaction/).

As part of the project 12 Pioneer ENNEREG Regions have been producing regional Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs) and initiating Sustainable Energy Projects (SEPs). The ENNEREG Pioneer Regions have been sharing their experience directly with 14 ENNEREG Twin Regions and ENNEREG has also been actively promoting replication in Sustainable Regions throughout Europe.

To promote and support these activities, the ENNEREG Regions 202020 website (www.regions202020.eu) acts as a platform providing inspiration and encouraging networking and replication enabling regions and their local communities to exchange experiences and be inspired on their journey to develop and implement SEAPs and SEPs.

This report, is part of a series of publications from the ENNEREG project. It has the objective of disseminating to a broad European audience what has come out of the ENNEREG intervention in the Madeira Autonomous Region. It represents the contribution of IDMEC and AREAM to the ENNEREG Inspiration Guide for Regional Decision-makers.

The Inspiration Guide, along with supporting documents including Good Practice Case Studies, Regional SEAPs and many other resources, can be found on the Regions 202020 website at: www.regions202020.eu/inspiration
