Providing regional energy balances in Eurostat format, Basque Country, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Cooperation - Monitoring

ENNEREG Good Practice Case Studies [EN] Pioneer regions in Europe should compare their energy situation with energy situations of other regions or countries. They should thus use a standard format for energy balances. Due to the size of regional statutory corporations, the calculation of energy balances at the regional level is a challenging task. EUROSTAT, which is the official statistical office of the European Union, has developed a coherence and harmonized system of energy statistics, based on data provided by the Member States.

During the ENNEREG Project, the Basque Country (2.7 mio.inhabitants) and the Region of Rhône-Alpes (6.2 mio. inhabitants) have exchanged their experience on the way how to elaborate Regional Energy Balance in EUROSTAT format.

European Citizens Climate Cup

Initiative [EN] The European Citizens Climate Cup is a household competition between different countries/regions to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. ECCC addresses European private householders, families and singles, and is based on the energy consumption of their houses. Participants have one year to implement in their own houses strategies and measures to reduce their overall energy consumption – the greater the reduction the bigger their chance of winning the competition!

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.

Electric mobility centre in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Basque Country, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Sustainable Transport

ENNEREG Good Practice Case Studies [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.

Begiralea: Energy consumption monitoring project, Basque Country, Spain - ENNEREG Good Practice in Monitoring

ENNEREG Good Practice Case Studies [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.

ENNEREG Good Practice Case Studies [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.

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.

  • Sustainable Mobility
    Atelier Mobilite Durable

    19 October 2011, 14:00-16:00, Lyon, France

    This conference on sustainable mobility has been organised by Rhônalpénergie-Environnement (RAEE) and the Rhône-Alpes Region within the framework of the European project ClimactRegions.

    Transport is the sector that most emits carbon dioxide (26% of GES emissions in France, 34% of carbon dioxide*). Road transport remains the principal responsible for these numbers. Technical advances, together with an increasingly restrictive regulation, have made vehicles less fuel-consuming and less polluting. But if vehicles consume and pollute less, road traffic, on the other hand, increases. Thus global carbon dioxide emissions by road transport have remained around 130Mt since 2001 (17% above their 1990 level*). It is then necessary to take action over urban and interurban traffics in order to regulate their growth. This issue naturally falls into the scope of the European project ClimactRegions, as it aims at feeding regional policies of fight against greenhouse effect.
