Boosting efficiency in
the electricity use in 8 European regions
Electricity consumption is
rising, in some areas with alarming speed. There is a strong risk that the
increase in electricity consumption will overcompensate the growth in
electricity production from renewable energy sources. A considerable lack of
awareness about these increases exists, not only among the general public
but also in SMEs, in public administrations and in political decision makers
on regional and local levels.
As the increases in
electricity consumption are not limited to one specific area - they happen
in domestic and non-domestic areas, in buildings as well as in industry -
the project will take a cross-sectoral approach and focus on increasing the
efficiency of electricity in 8 European regions: Oberösterreich (A),
Ile-de-France (F), Pomerania (PL), South Bohemia (CZ), Västra Götaland (S),
Madrid (E), Navarra (E), Saxony (D). It will analyse and tackle areas with
specific growth rates by developing regional action plans and implementing
targeted promotion and dissemination activities. The complete results of the project
are available on:
