Interreg Euro-MED - LOGREENER
LOGREENER – Composing Local Green Energy Transition
Programme: Interreg Euro-MED
Project Mission: Promoting green living areas
Programme priority: Greener MED
Specific Objective RSO2.4: Promoting climate change adaptation and disaster risk prevention, resilience, taking into account eco-system based approaches
Duration: 1 January 2024 – 31 March 2026 (27 months)
Budget: € 989,820.70
Interreg Funds: € 791,856.56
Lead Partner: Valencian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (Spain)
Partners: MUSOL Foundation (Spain), National Union of Municipalities and Mountain Authorities – Lazio Region Delegation (Italy), Technical University of Crete – Renewable and Sustainable Energy Systems Laboratory (Greece), University of Zagreb – Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (Croatia), Leader network Croatia (Croatia), Department for Development and International Projects of Zenica-Doboj Canton (Bosnia-Herzegovina), Local Energy Agency Spodnje Prodravje (Slovenia)
The EuroMED Local Authorities are increasingly engaged in the energy transition but in general they don’t have adequate capacities to carry out proper assessment and planning processes when preparing their local sustainable energy transition strategies.
In the Interreg MED 2014-2020, the projects COMPOSE, PRISMI and LOCAL4GREEN worked to promote the green energy transition, producing relevant outputs for Local Authorities that were successfully tested but used separately, which prevented a further transfer.
LOGREENER will integrate the COMPOSE, PRISMI and LOCAL4GREEN outputs, creating an optimised toolkit to support planning and implementation of local energy plans. The project will improve the capacities of Local Authorities through a training process to apply the novel toolkit in the municipalities. Furthermore, the project will support key multiplier stakeholders (regional authorities, associations of municipalities, energy agencies, …) to integrate the novel toolkit as a tool for the support services that they usually provide to Local Authorities.
Approach
The project approach is based on the capitalization of the results of former Interreg MED 2014-2020 projects.
The project will update the PRISMI, COMPOSE and LOCAL4GREEN projects’ results and will create an optimized integrated toolkit that will enhance the transferability of these projects.
The concrete outputs to be capitalized are:
- Renewable and Sustainable Energy Local Planning Toolbox (COMPOSE)
- Handbook for green local fiscal policy formulation and International Handbook on green local fiscal policy models (LOCAL4GREEN)
- Integrated Toolkit for Mediterranean islands, assessing and mapping Renewable Energy Sources and for the targeted elaboration of energy scenarios of penetration in the electrical systems (PRISMI)
Application and Transferring
The project toolkit will be applied by concrete Local Authorities that will use it to draft or update local sustainable energy transition plans. These Local Authorities have been involved in the project as associated partners and will receive the training and technical support provided by the project.
Moreover, the project toolkit will be transferred to key multiplier stakeholders that usually support Local Authorities in the design and implementation of climate policies, and thus, can integrate the project toolkit to their tools. These key multiplier stakeholders are involved in the project as institutional partners and as associated partners.
A comprehensive training programme, a technical support service and the early involvement of the multiplier stakeholders in the transferring process to the receiver associated municipalities intend to ensure that new Local Authorities and multiplier stakeholders develop the skills required to use the project toolkit.
LOGREENER will collaborate with the Green Living Areas Thematic Community Project (TCP) and Institutional Dialogue Project (IDP) to address the relevant policy makers with concrete multilevel policy recommendations to improve the local sustainable energy transition. The project will also build additional synergies to contribute to the Interreg Euro-MED Programme results amplification strategy.
