Energy Agencies in Europe – Results and Perspectives

This report, published by the Executive Agency of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME), presents the results of the third assessment of local and regional energy agencies in Europe, which has been carried out under the Intelligent Energy Europe programme. The results of this assessment are expected to be of use to policy makers and decision makers with responsibilities on sustainable energy-related issues at European, national, regional and local levels.
This report presents an analysis of the results and impacts achieved, as well as the on-going needs of local and regional energy agencies or equivalent structures in the EU, including both those which creation was funded by the IEE programme and those that were established without such EU funding but are nevertheless operating today with a similar scope.
The report provides its results and key findings of the following topics
Operational aspects of energy agencies
Sustainability of energy agencies
Activities led by energy agencies
Needs and expectations of energy agencies
Political commitment and engaging stakeholders
Collaboration and networking between energy agencies and public authorities
