Pooling Energy Action Plans
and Enhancing their implementation in the Alps
Thank you for your interest in participating in a joint partnership with the
PEACE_Alps project.
Please fill in the questionnaire below and send your feedback to your PEACE_Alps contacts available
at: http://www.alpine-space.eu/projects/peace_alps/en/contact
or directly to [email protected]
The ambition of PEACE_Alps is to enhance the implementation of Sustainable Energy Action Plans
(SEAPs) or any other energy concepts by supporting Local Authorities (LAs) in developing concrete
actions with an inter-municipal approach.
The project proceeds by identifying local needs using a bottom up approach, pooling them to create
economies of scale and then providing centralized solutions at regional level. PEACE_Alps focuses on
the following areas in which partners are implementing innovative approaches:
 Energy Management,
 Energy Refurbishment of buildings and public lighting,
 Local adaptation to Climate Change.
Examples are listed in the last section of this document.
