About: Energy for Mayors

For further information contact the project Communications Officer: Maryke van Staden, ICLEI Europe - Email: maryke.van.staden@iclei.org

Energy for Mayors starts from the consideration that Supporting Structures (SSt) are necessary for a successful implementation of the Covenant, but they need guidance in order to achieve their role and be an effective support, in particular, for small towns. The present action aims at creating a network of SSt through capacity building. 11 partner SuS, in Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and Spain will also assist small and medium sized municipalities in the implementation of local Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs). The consortium will enlarge its networking activities to at least one SuS in each EU country and creating networks of SuS in each project country.

A survey for SuS will be conducted to identify methodologies and tools they make available for their cities and towns - to be collected and presented in the on-line Toolbox. SSt interested in participating in the survey are invited to get in touch - also to explore their involvement in the Supporting Structures Training Workshop to be held in Huelva, Spain in November 2010.
