10 October 2018, 9am - 4pm

Palais des Académies, Brussels

 

A new Energy Efficiency Directive has been agreed upon and Europeans now have their new target: 32,5% for 2030. Public authorities through their energy efficiency strategies will be the main drivers for implementing the necessary measures and monitoring their impact towards this new target. 

The PUBLENEF H2020 project has been focusing precisely on mobilising public authorities at local, regional and national level and connecting them. Based on needs assessments and good practices analysis, the partners developed policy roadmaps in 12 cities and regions across Europe to implement energy efficiency pathways towards sustainability.

In the frame of the European Week of Regions and Cities, this event will explore the capacity of local and regional authorities to lead the transition to an energy efficient society. EU level representatives will present the new policy framework for energy efficiency and the latest financing opportunities. Successful approaches will be discussed and effective tools will be shared. You’ll have the chance to exchange with fellow experts and policy makers on the key dimensions of energy efficiency policies and together explore the latest trends and solutio

The goal is to draw the attention of national institutions, municipalities, businesses and the public to current topics in the field of integrated energy management and development, smart cities with "smart" buildings with nearly- zero energy consumption and clean air, and the possibility for investments in innovation.

For the ninth year in succession ABEA will award the most innovative and efficient installations on biomass and solar energy, divided into two categories in the Bulgarian National RES Champions League. The competition is based on strict criteria covering technical specifications of the installations, their efficiency profile and their innovative nature.  The RES Champions League aims to facilitate seamless adaptation of local communities to the rapidly changing energy situation. Realising both the effects of climate change and rising oil prices, local authorities and stakeholders sometimes are frustrated by being unable to find solutions which can be applied to address these problems.

The main topics of the conference:

  • The challenges to the Bulgarian energy policies – national and municipal targets and challenges
  • Intelligent city – sustainable energy and climate development   
  • From energy efficiency buildings to buildings with nearly zero energy consumption
  • Investments for innovation and their realization in municipalities

Information and demonstration stand in the conference hall will be available. The new tools and training platforms will be demonstrated. You can try the platforms and ask our experts.

Expected participants:

  • Mayors, city council members, municipality experts
  • Representatives of businesses in the spheres of EE and RES
  • Experts form energy agencies, universities and R&D organisations
  • Representatives of companies
  • Consultants
  • Journalists
