Summary
The project 'Energy planning at municipal level - support to decision-makers' aimed to support the implementation of energy planning in communities in accordance with the requirements of the Polish Energy Law. The specific goals of the project were to explain the political, social and technical issues connected with energy planning at the local level, and to prepare a set of materials to assist authorities in making relevant decisions.
The project included a stakeholder analysis and the elaboration of a toolbox for energy planning in selected municipalities. Main issues for all three components were training, the transfer of knowledge and the dissemination of experience and managerial know-how.
Three municipalities were selected during three phases to be used as model municipalities: Bytow, in the northern part of Poland; Legionowo, a suburb close to Warsaw; and Myszkow, in the southern part of Poland.
Energy planning was presented as a means to balance short-term and long-term development goals concerning economic efficiency, environmental sustainability and reliability of supply. The means to achieve these ends are efficiency, diversification and flexibility at less cost.
This case study is one of 31 Good Practice Case Studies published by the OPET Network in 2005
