Strategy for future action in the ENNEREG regions

Experience from the ENNEREG Regions [EN] During the project, the ENNEREG partners have worked in the development of sustainable energy action plans (SEAP) in their represented regions and in the promotion of sustainable energy projects (SEP). The objective of this document is to present how they intend to continue their efforts after the end of the project, developing the activities planned in the regional SEAP and ensuring the attraction of the necessary resources to promote sustainable energy projects.

Some of the SEAPs defined with the support of the project have been approved by the respective administrations and others still need to be matured to be accepted at the regional level and to be implemented. Thus, the situation is not the same in every region, and the approach to work in sustainable energy is not the same either. This document summarizes the common as well as the specific aspects about how the regions expect to organize and carry on the work on sustainable energy in the next future.

Carpooling in rural areas, Triangle Region Denmark - ENNEREG Good practice in cooperation in transportation

ENNEREG Good Practice Case Studies [EN] The Triangle Region Denmark is implementing a carpooling solution in rural areas based on experiences and knowledge transfer from Vaxjö in Sweden. The carpooling solution was developed in a small village in Vaxjö with 500 inhabitants. The project was developed due to a family’s consideration of buying a second car. The carpooling is circled around a software solution that enables the users to see departure and arrival times for different trips, that is preprogrammed. Unlike other carpooling systems, this is a closed system where everybody knows each other and it gives the users peace of mind.

The carpooling solution is used by commuters, youngsters, and other people who need transport. The solution saves money, the users gets increased mobility, better social relations and at the same time there are less cars and lower carbon dioxide emissions.

Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings

Policy & Legislation [EN] The buildings sector represents 40% of the European Union’s (EU) total energy consumption. Reducing energy consumption in this area is therefore a priority under the “20-20-20” objectives on energy efficiency. This Directive contributes to achieving this aim by proposing guiding principles for Member States regarding the energy performance of buildings.

European Energy Efficiency Legislation

Policy & Legislation [EN] Reducing energy consumption and eliminating energy wastage are among the main goals of the European Union (EU). EU support for improving energy efficiency will prove decisive for competitiveness, security of supply and for meeting the commitments on climate change made under the Kyoto Protocol. There is significant potential for reducing consumption, especially in energy-intensive sectors such as buildings, manufacturing, energy conversion and transport. At the end of 2006, the EU pledged to cut its annual consumption of primary energy by 20% by 2020. To achieve this goal, it is working to mobilise public opinion, decision-makers and market operators and to set minimum energy efficiency standards and rules on labelling for products, services and infrastructure.
