Our View

There is no doubt that Local and Regional Energy Agencies have played and play a key role in the transition towards a sustainable energy policy, a legal framework which can face the energetic, economic and environmental challenges arisen in Europe for the last two decades.

The European Union, being aware of the need for mobilizing a critical mass and for counting on a highly specialized public sector committed with the European energy guidelines, has strongly fostered the creation of Energy Agencies within local and regional public authorities. At present there is a network of more than 400 agencies in 31 different countries.

COMMON POINTS OF THE AGENCIES

The agencies involved in the Association, despite of their different structures, areas of activity and territorial scope, share similar interests, pursue the same objectives and face common challenges. EnerAgen enables them to work together more efficiently, which is crucial at the present time.

THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ENERAGEN

EnerAgen allows its members to take advantage of synergies and resources and contributes to the exchange of information and best practices among them. It is also a great debate forum for local and regional organisations specialized in energy and the voice representing their interests both at national and European level.
