Regions 202020 Network Member(s) Organising Event:
The Regions 202020 Workshop and Technical Visits, organised by EVE and Fedarene on 8-9 November 2012, was attended by ENNEREG partners, Fedarene partners and selected invited participants.
The events took place during the celebration of the 30th anniversary of EVE - Ente Vasco de la Energia and coincided with the 2012 Fedarene General Assembly.
The Workshop on Thursday 8 November 2012 was a good opportunity to discuss interesting issues related to the management of energy efficiency at a regional level, and to share ENNEREG partner’s experience and good practices.
The ENNEREG Workshop was followed on the morning of Friday 9 November by two technical visits, both in Zamudio, 10 km from Bilbao.
EVE also disseminated copies of ENNEREG Good Practice Case Studies from the Basque Country. These can be found in the Presentations and other Resources section at the bottom of this webpage.

Electric mobility centre in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Basque Country, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Sustainable Transport
ENNEREG Good Practice
[EN]
One of the strategic central themes for the penetration of the electric vehicle is the creation of a critical mass of vehicles. This penetration is going to be very slow during the first few years for several reasons: the renewal of the car fleet is very slow, the car production provided by major manufacturers for the next few years will be very limited and because the first electrical vehicles that will be commercialized will have high prices. For these reasons, the Basque Government tries to ensure that a critical mass of electric vehicles is put into action, to reach the market breaking point as soon as possible.
One of the strategies to achieve this is the Implementation of a Mobility Center. A mobility centre is a is a point of information on the electric vehicle in which people can be informed about aspects of the electric vehicle such as grants, rents, recharging points, e-vehicles models, etc. E-vehicles renting (through Ibilek) and recharging (Ibil) is also possible.

Window replacement program, Basque Country, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Sustainable Buildings
ENNEREG Good Practice
[EN]
The object of the project promoted by the Basque Government is to replace old and inefficient windows in residential buildings through grant programs, covering a maximum of 22% of the replacement cost.
In any case, the maximum subsidy for each house is 1,200 Euro.
The replacement program has been implemented in 6,765 households during 2010-2011.

Begiralea: Energy consumption monitoring project, Basque Country, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Monitoring
ENNEREG Good Practice
[EN]
The Begiralea project aims to raise awareness about the importance of saving energy and also aims to involve directly workers of municipal buildings to reduce energy consumption. For this purpose, municipal workers will have information available about the real consumption of the building with tools for its analysis and advices that will help them achieve important levels of energy saving.
All this is possible thanks to the building monitoring system for the energy consumption that the Association of Basque Municipalities-EUDEL has developed with the advice of the Basque Energy Agency-EVE making possible to know how much and how is consumed energy in each building.
Thus, good practices and new habits developed by workers will have their reflection in the energy consumption and it may be checked in the comparatives with previous months.

District Heating with biomass in Orozko, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Renewable Energy
ENNEREG Good Practice
[EN]
This project supplies a range of 432 houses and 2 municipal buildings (the school and the sports centre) with warm sanitary water and heating through a centralized system which has biomass as its main source of primary energy.
This project promoted by the Orozko municipality aims to meet the thermal demand (heating and warm sanitary water) through a centralized system which has biomass as its main source of primary energy. The project is implemented in two phases: the first phase provides heating for the sports centre and the elementary education centre. The second phase is a district heating network for a new housing development.
The installation of district heating centralized system offers several advantages: avoids chimneys and installations of heat in buildings, improves the quality of air, average savings higher than 15% compared with traditional systems, savings on the initial investment of more than 22% and savings of required surface for installations.

Eco-driving courses, Basque Country, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Energy Education
ENNEREG Good Practice
[EN]
Eco-driving courses given by experienced professionals encourage a new style for vehicle driving, obtaining 15% reductions in fuel consumption. Eco-Driving means smarter and more fuel-efficient driving and it represents a new driving culture that makes best use of advanced vehicle technologies, while improving road safety.
Courses given by experienced professionals on efficient driving for cars and industrial vehicles for encouragement of energy efficiency in the transport sector.
Basic courses last for 3 hours and consist in a practical class on a car followed by a theoretical one on good practices for efficient. Finally, the car is taken again to put into practice what have been learned and to make measurements of consumption, speeds, and other indicators. Furthermore, it is intended that the course attendees understand the technical basis which justify the efficient driving.
