Implementing the Energy Transition through Local Action Planning

This Covenant of Mayors Workshop is part of the Local Renewables Conference 2018

European signatories of the Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy will discuss how to implement successful local climate and energy action through accelerating the uptake of decentralised and renewable energy.

While the expansion of renewables on the local level faces many challenges, decentralised approaches to renewable energy deployment have the potential to provide more affordable and fairer access to energy.

How can decentralised renewable energy solutions make access to energy more equitable? Can models like cooperatives and energy communities be valuable partners to local governments in implementing the energy transition? How can sustainable energy measures be successfully financed? These and more questions will be debated throughout the session, starting from the experience of several cities both in the panels and in the audience. Participants will be invited to join the discussion, sharing and discussing their own challenges, solutions and experiences.
