Background

The EU Climate and Energy Package is considered key to an energy efficient and low-carbon Europe. The three overall objectives have become generally known as the 20-20-20 targets: a 20% cut in emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020, compared with 1990 levels; a 20% increase in the share of renewables; and a 20% cut in energy consumption.

EnercitEE seeks to implement the EU targets on energy efficiency practically. The project, which is carried out under the EU programme INTERREG IVC, builds upon experiences and existing networks from the forerunner project enercy’regio.

The exchange of experience will be an essential part of this mini-programme: the partners will compile policy instruments, good practices, case studies and organise training sessions and component seminars.
