The CONCERTO initiative |
The
CONCERTO initiative, launched by the European Commission , is a Europe
wide initiative proactively addressing the challenges of creating a
more sustainable future for Europe's energy needs. Today, there are a
total of 45 communities in 18 projects, each working to deliver the
highest possible level of self-supply of energy. CONCERTO is part of
the framework research programme supervised by the DG Energy and
Transport of the European Commission.
CONCERTO supports local communities, as clearly defined geographical
areas or zones, in developing and demonstrating concrete strategies and
actions that are both sustainable and highly energy efficient.
Interactions and relevant energy flows between centralised and
decentralised energy supplies and demands can be identified, measured
and assessed.
The CONCERTO initiative has been only possible as a result of the
strong commitment from the relevant, local authorities and includes
technical experts, academics, and private companies from across Europe.
Throughout the 18 participating CONCERTO projects the focus is
primarily on demonstrating the environmental, economic and social
benefits of integrating renewable energy sources (RES) together with
energy efficiency (EE) techniques through a sustainable
energy-management system operated on a community level.
The CONCERTO initiative provides a
platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences between the 45
CONCERTO demonstration communities, and other cities that are committed
to introducing similar strategies. Communities participating will
benefit from the shared expertise of Europe's most advanced
communities, active in the field of energy sustainability. |
