EL-EFF Project - Efficient Electricity: Boosting efficiency in the electricity use in 8 European regions
Electricity consumption is rising, in some areas with alarming speed. There is a strong risk that the increase in electricity consumption will overcompensate the growth in electricity production from renewable energy sources. A considerable lack of awareness about these increases exists, not only among the general public but also in SMEs, in public administrations and in political decision makers on regional and local levels.
As the increases in electricity consumption are not limited to one specific area - they happen in domestic and non-domestic areas, in buildings as well as in industry - the EL-EFF project will take a cross-sectoral approach and focus on increasing the efficiency of electricity in 8 European regions: Oberösterreich (AT), Ile-de-France (FR), Pomerania (PL), South Bohemia (CZ), Västra Götaland (SE), Madrid (ES), Navarra (ES), Saxony (DE). It will analyse and tackle areas with specific growth rates by developing regional action plans and implementing targeted promotion and dissemination activities.
The EL-EFF Project is supported by the Intelligent Energy - Europe Programme.
