SAVE Agencies

The SAVE II initiative incorporated community action on regional and urban energy management. The aim was to stimulate a 'bottom up' approach to energy management by encouraging local and regional action for energy efficiency, the use of local energy resources and the creation of optimum energy-supply conditions at the local level. To achieve this aim, SAVE II part-funded the collaborative creation of autonomous Energy Management Agencies at the local and regional level, establishing networks to disseminate to local and regional authorities throughout with the help of FEDARENE (Network for Regions), ENERGIE-CITE (Network for Cities) and ISLENET (Network for Islands).
