The Energy Union project: cities and regions ahead of the game?

The Committee of the Regions (CoR) and its partners have shown a strong interest in energy efficiency in the context of the Energy Union package.

Local and regional authorities across the EU welcome the commitment of the European Commission to improve framework conditions for the financing of energy efficiency projects, which has been one of the top priorities of the CoR.

The institution will celebrate a conference tomorrow, 19th June, from 8.30 to 13, at the Committee of the Regions in Brussels. The event will focus on local and regional requirements of the Energy Union, and will deal with financing solutions for local needs-driven sustainable energy investments.

A panel composed of cities’ and regions’ representatives from Belgium, Ireland, Portugal, France or Sweden will also showcase some of their success stories.
